Bisque Ornaments

[tbcrops]

Does anyone know how to stamp on bisque ornaments? If so, please explain.

Can you buy them already glazed and stamp with Staz-On Ink? Could sharpie markers be used for coloring?

Thanks!

Do you think you could stamp the image and then paint with acrylic paint?

Thanks for your help and the link!

Sure you can stamp then paint with acrylics... but why would you want to? Bisque is a porus (did I spell that right?) surface - like porcelain. (OK. Anne is an engineer - which means she doesn't spell worth a hoot.) May I ask what you are trying to do?

Definition: Bisque (or biscuited clay) has been fired once but is UNglazed. Bisque may be done with porcelain or earthenware or any form of clay.
Hint: Look for tiles in the galleries here at Splitcoast. Since so many folks are stamping on tiles and turning the into refrigerator magnets, I would suppose that the same technique might work on ornaments.

Can you spray the ornament with a sealer to give it that glazed look? If so, what brand of sealer do you use?

Thanks!
