Instructions

  1. Start with properly fired cone 04 bisque wiped clean of any dust or debris. 
  2. Using a Soft Fan brush, apply 3 coats of Rawhide to the bottom waves. 
  3. Using a Soft Fan brush, apply 3 coats of Blue Yonder to the next 2 inches above the Rawhide.  
  4. Using a Soft Fan brush, while the Blue Yonder is still wet, apply 3 coats of Cara-bein Blue to the next 2 inches blending into the Blue Yonder. You can wet your brush or apply more Blue Yonder to help blend the two sections together. 
  5. Using a Soft Fan brush, while Cara-bein Blue is still wet, apply 3 coats of Sunkissed to the next inch, including the arms blending into the Cara-bein Blue. 
  6. Using a Soft Fan brush, while the Sunkissed is still wet, apply 3 coats of Cant-elope to the next inch blending into the Sunkissed. 
  7. Using a Soft Fan brush, while the Cant-elope is still wet, apply 3 coats of Tu Tu Tango to the next inch blending into the Cant-elope. 
  8. Using a Soft Fan brush, apply 3 coats of Wine About It to the next inch (bottom inch of the top section). 
  9. Using a Soft Fan brush, while the Wine About It is still wet, apply 3 coats of Grape Expectations blending into the Wine About It. 
  10. Using a Script Liner, create a sun image with Dandelion where the Sunkissed meets the Cara-bein Blue. You can taper the Dandelion down into the Cara-bein blue to create the reflection of the sunset. Apply 3 coats. 
  11. Using a Script Liner, dab 2-3 coats of Fired Snow on the wave, arms, and top wisps to create the sea foam and clouds. Dabbing will create a more uneven look.  
  12. Using a Detail Liner, apply 3 coats of Tuxedo in small, bent lines in the sky to create the birds. 
  13. Using a Detail Liner, apply 2-3 of Fired Snow in wavey lines around the blue sections of the tree to create wave breaks. 
  14. Optional: using a Detail Liner, create a crab and starfish at the bottom of the tree using a Detail Liner.  
  15. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
