Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Use the pencil to draw irises on the eyes. Using the Script Liner with SC-27 Sour Apple, apply 2 coats to the irises. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Use the pencil to draw pupils on the eyes. Using the Script Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the pupils. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Detail Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, make a dot in the pupil of each eye.
  6. Using the Soft Fan and Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed, apply 3 coats to the body of the rooster. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, apply 3 coats to the beak. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply 3 coats to the comb and waddles. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the details of the eyes, beak, comb, and waddles.
  10. Cut the cardboard into a small piece – around 1.5” square. You will be using the edge with straight lines, not the corrugated edge.
  11. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-97 Cant-elope, SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, SC-74 Hot Tamale, SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-11 Blue Yonder, and SC-76 Cara-Bein Blue onto the palette.
  12. Take the cardboard square and dip the straight edge into SC-97 Cant-elope. Press vertically onto the neck of the rooster. Repeat until you go around the neck. Lines should be random, not evenly spaced or angled.
  13. Repeat Step #11 with SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, going further down the rooster.
  14. Repeat Step #11 with SC-74 Hot Tamale, going further down the rooster.
  15. Repeat Step #11 with SC-27 Sour Apple, going further down the rooster.
  16. Repeat Step #11 with SC-11 Blue Yonder, down further down the rooster.
  17. Repeat Step #11 with SC-76 Cara-Bein Blue, going down to the bottom of the rooster.
  18. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
