pencil at 1-inch intervals all around the inside of the bowl.

up to about ¼ inch from pencil marks on the sides of the bowl. Apply 2-3 coats to get
some color variation in the pink.

outer bowl. Completely cover outside of bowl and outside bottom with Lime Ricky.
(leave a small white line between pink and green paint on inside). Let dry.
4. Beginning at the marks on the inside of the bowl, use painters tape to create stripes,
bring tape from the inside to the outside bottom rim of the bowl. Place tape strips
approximately 1 ½ inch apart.
5. Using a brush, paint exposed areas of Lime Ricky over with the “Green Acres” paint.
6. Pull tape off.
