Instructions
1. Wipe ware with damp sponge to remove bisque dust.
2. Place graphite paper between bisque and pattern. Position top of skull design over the coin slot. Trace over pattern to transfer design onto bisque. Remove pattern and graphite paper.

4. Paint in flames with three coats of Bright Saffron, letting dry between coats. Referring to photo, brush a coat of Bright Tangerine over the flames, starting at the base of the skateboard and working the color up toward the tips of flames. Color should be heavier at the base and lighter as you move toward the tips.
5. Paint the flames on the wheels as well. Let dry.
6. Using the No. 4 Liner, paint a Black line around skull eyes, nose, teeth and around flames. Fill in spaces with Black. Let dry and repeat with two more coats, letting dry between each. Repeat on wheels.
