Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove dust.
  2. Use the AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper to trace the pattern onto the tray.
  3. Tape off the yellow rectangle area. Thin SC-5 Tiger Tail. Use the Script Liner to float to the edges of the rectangle. Add two thinned coats of SC-42 Butter Me Up to the center of the rectangle.
  4. Tape to make the red border on the left side of the tray, and add a tape line on the right side. Thin (like water) SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral and use the Soft Fan to apply two coats to the taped area. Use the sponge-on-a-stick to dab SC-81 Cinnamon Stix to the ST-116 Flourish Stamp and press onto the Cutie Pie Coral areas. Remove the tape.
  5. Tape to make the deeper green rectangle at the bottom of the tray. Thin SC-52 Toad-ily Green (like water) and use the Soft Fan to apply two thinned coats to the rectangle area. Use the sponge-on-a-stick to dab SC-39 Army Surplus to the ST-342 Poinsettia Stamp and press onto the Toad-ily Green areas. Remove the tape and let dry.
  6. Use the tape to create the Honeydew List rectangle area. Use the Soft Fan to apply two thinned coats of SC-93 Honeydew List to the remaining areas. Use the sponge-on-a-stick to dab SC-52 Toad-ily Green on the ST-342 Poinsettia Stamp and press onto the Honeydew List area.
  7. Thin SC-39 Army Surplus and SC-52 Toad-ily Green; use the Script Liner to apply two coats to the leaves. Apply the darker green to one side of the leaf and the lighter to the other, adding in SC-42 Butter Me Up to the lighter side.
  8. Use the Script Liner to apply two coats of SC-94 Curry Around to the breast and the eye area. Use the same brush to apply two coats of SC-16 Cotton Tail to the lower part of the body flowing up to meet the Curry Around. Use SC-41 Brown Cow and SC-60 Silver Lining to apply two coats to the remaining sections of the bird.
  9. Thin SG-401 with water. Use the Liner brush with the thinned color to create feather lines.
  10. Use the Liner brush with SG-401 that has not been thinned to create accent lines on the bird and the beak.
  11. Use the Script Liner to float SC-15 Tuxedo on the wings and at the back of their heads. Dot the berries with SC-74 Hot Tamale.
  12. For this step, we used Designer Liner with the CB-110 Liner. Use the Liner and SG-401 Black to outline the birds and detail the leaves. Use SG-401 Black SG-405 Green to stroke in the pine needles. Apply SG-406 Brown to the branches.
  13. Use the Soft Fan to apply three coats of FN-035 Deep Red to the back of the plate.
  14. Use the Soft Fan to apply two coats of S-2101 Clear Brushing Glaze to the top of the plate or dip into NT-CLR Clear Dipping Glaze.
  15. Fire to cone 05/06.
