Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SC-73 Candy Apple Red, SC-6 Sunkissed, SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-11 Blue Yonder and SC-85 Orkid onto the palette. Using the Soft Fan with SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply 1 coat to the head. Using the same brush, apply each of the colors, blending as you work your way to the back of the unicorn. After the glaze is dry, repeat for a 2nd coat.
  3. Using the Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 1 heavy coat over ¼ of the unicorn. When the glaze starts to lose its shine, take the caps and press up and down into the glaze. They should be pulling the glaze off in circles. If it is not coming off, wait for the glaze to dry a little longer. Use the needle tool to pull up tiny dots of glaze.
  4. Repeat Step #3 until the entire unicorn is complete.
  5. Fire to cone 06.
