Lisa and Mary-
Amaco sells the decal paper in two sizes-
Just curious-do you put any kind of sealant on your decal paper?One of the girls at Davens taught me a method which was much easier than screening that nasty goo that smells foul and would burn the hairs off not only your sinuses but your toes. A lot of them around Atlanta use a spray-Krylon clear to be exact-but they said any clear spray would do and seal the decal paper-LET IT DRY GOOD(several hours or overnight is better-but you can cheat and use blow dryer but chance of tearing then) then do another coat, repeat steps to about 4-5 coats.DO NOT do heavy coats-light even spraying is best.You will know it's right by the feel-feels just like any other decal. After decal is dry, trim to size. Put in warm water, slide off and apply to ceramic piece-sponge,etc. LET SIT AT LEAST A DAY BEFORE FIRING . Fire as usual.
You can lino/block print or do freestyle design on decal paper with china paint also, seal and proceed as usual.Oh yeah-when you do this using a quick relase masking tape and tape decal paper onto piece of masonite/board (like you would watercolor) and then spray.
