Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque.
  2. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  3. Place the bubble wrap over the tile. Cut the bubble wrap so that it is the same size as the tile.
  4. Using the Soft Fan with SC-45, apply 3 coats to the front of the tile. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-11 onto the palette.
  6. Dip the sponge in the glaze and sponge the textured side of the bubble wrap.
  7. Repeat until the texture is covered. Place the bubble wrap, textured side down, onto the front of the tile. Remove the bubble wrap.
  8. After the glaze is dry to the touch, place the pattern over the front of the tile.
  9. Trace over the pattern with the pencil. Press down just hard enough so that you can see a faint line in the glaze. You should not be able to see any bisque.
  10. Use FD-254 Black Licorice to outline your pattern on the tile. Allow lines to dry.
  11. Using the Script Liner with SC-2, apply a plop coat to the nose and inner ear.
  12. Using the Script Liner with SC-16, apply a plop coat to the eyes.
  13. Using the Script Liner with SC-15, make a dot for the pupil of each eye.
  14. Squeeze out around 1 tsp of SC-16 onto the palette. Dip the pencil tip into the glaze. Make a dot in the pupil of each eye.
  15. Using the Script Liner with SG-302 Snowfall, apply a thick, textured coat to the rest of the bunny.
  16. Using the Script Liner with SC-15, apply 1 coat going around the edge of the tile.
  17. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
