Instructions

  1. . Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Take the pencil and draw a line going around the neck of each chicken. This will separate the 2 colors.
  3. Using the Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed (hen 1), SC-27 Sour Apple (hen 2) and SC-97 Cant-elope (rooster), apply 3 coats to the top half of the chickens. Avoid the eyes, beak, waddles, and comb. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Squeeze out around 1 tsp SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Dip the pencil eraser in the glaze and stamp onto the eye. This will make the pupil. Repeat for the second eye.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, apply 3 coats to the beaks. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply 3 coats to the comb and waddles. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Soft Fan with CG-753 Sassy Orange (hen 2), CG-756 Firecracker (rooster) and CG-987 Tree Frog (hen 1), apply 3 coats to the bottom half of each chicken. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Cut the cardboard into 3 small pieces – around 1.5” squares. You will be using the edge with straight lines, not the corrugated edge.
  10. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-74 Hot Tamale, SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, and SC-16 Cotton Tail onto the palette.
  11. Take 1 cardboard square and dip the straight edge into SC-74 Hot Tamale. Press vertically onto the neck of one of the chickens. It should be centered between the top and bottom colors. Repeat until you go around the neck. Repeat for all chickens.
  12. Repeat Step #11 with a new piece of cardboard and SC-75 Orange-A-Peel.
  13. Repeat Step #11 with a new piece of cardboard and SC-16 Cotton Tail.
  14. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
