INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lightly wipe ware with a damp sponge to prepare surface for painting.
2. Bubble paint: In a small paper cup, mix equal parts liquid dish soap, Neon Blue, and water. Stir until you see bubbles forming. With a straw, blow into the mixture, making sure the cup remains in an upright position. Allow bubbles to overflow onto the bisque surface. When the entire surface is covered, allow bubbles to pop on their own. Repeat as desired, then allow project to dry completely.
