How to create a child Handprint ceramic tile

Handprint of your child in a tile is an astounding work of art in the coming years. How could your hands ever have been so small? This is a fun to make art with a group of mothers and their children. One child per adult works the best. Every mother you need:
--- One soft brush, any size, but 1 / 2 "works better
--- One jar of "one handprint of your child's Stroke a tile is an astounding work of art in the coming years. How could the hands have never been so small? This is a fun to make art with a group of mothers and their kids.underglaze ", either Duncan EZ Stroke or Gare One-Stroke. (Of course they can share these, but it's better if they have at least 3 colors to choose from. The best are dark green, dark blue or dark brown. One jar of each color will make 50 hands in total)
--- A pint jar of "clear gloss glaze, which everyone can use.
--- A sponge
--- Paper towels and a washcloth
--- An unglazed ceramic white, 4-1/4 "(for children 2 or 3 years. old or less) or 6 "(for children over 3) Unless you know someone who has hand-painted tiles, as a career, these would have to be ordered in cases of 100 or more. It is best to call the hobby ceramic stores, where you can get the glaze and clear glaze, and ask if they have a "molded greenware or bisque tile they sell "and request the amount you need. Let them know that you'd like" biscuit shot.

The most Importantly, the children's hands, wash with soap and water, then dried well. salt, sugar or oils on the hands prevents brightness from linkages with the Part. Be sure to clean the tiles with a clean sponge in water. Let dry a few minutes.

Tell the kids it's like hand-painting only without moving their fingers. Make it fun, be a little scary. Keep your hands clean gently on a tab to make sure it fits your hand, fingers out a bit. Choose the size appropriate tiles and paint a layer of enamel wet in the palm of your hand open, not too runny but not too dry, follwing the mixing instructions on the bottle. Try to keep your fingers to touch, hold her hand even more, the better the clarity. a good impression show fingerprints! But if it smears, it usually does, is all for fun anyway. If you start to turn into a battle with the child, let him go when he sees other children having a good time we will offer its hand to be painted. (I say "him" because usually the children that coward out, girls are more adventurous. Lol)

Make sure the paint goes all the way to the ends of the fingers and thumb and press down on the surface of the tile, quickly but gently and firmly, rolling the fingers a bit for the print doesn't look like skeleton fingers lol. Lift your hand up and see how cool! Wash hands with soap, the paint is water soluble and non-staining, but do not let them lick. With a fine brush, write the child's name and birth date or age or right on the tile. put it in a safe place to dry.

If you are nervous about the glaze dry spots, have fired them "cone 04" before painting the clear gloss on top. This is the right way, but if the glaze is good and dry and not very careful, it can be to put the fire clear glaze and firing glazed tile, once in the "cone of 06" and the results be the same. Either way, get the larger hard brush and paint 3 thin coats of clear gloss on the tile and fire to "cone 06".

You can buy frames from most ceramic stores that sell the paintings. That will last forever. Have fun!

How can I decorate my wall, so that seems made of bricks?

I want a wall at my house looking really raw, only painted white brick. I said I buy special "boxes" that seemed bricks, but those must be white because white paint them do not work well (which sounds strange to me) In addition, such hand-made white bricks (brick tile) r quite expensive (25 pounds per square meter). better idea of achieving the effect white brick in the wall of me?

You can buy sheets of panels 4 feet by 8 feet that looks like brick and texture, as such, too.
