Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust
  2. Free-hand a smile and eyes on a piece of paper
  3. Place the Clay Carbon Paper over the door and windows of the truck. Position the pattern over the paper and trace with the pencil.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-79 It’s Sage, apply one coat to the body of the truck. While applying, use SC-39 Army Surplus to shade. Do not glaze inside the mouth. Allow glaze to dry. Repeat for a second coat.
  5. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SC-39 Army Surplus onto the palette. Take the ST-127 Crackle Stamp and place it design-side up. Take the sponge on a stick and gently dab it into the glaze. Blot off any excess onto the bare portion of the palette, then sponge the stamp. Take the stamp and gently press onto the body of the truck. Repeat until covered.
