Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN002 Yellow, apply 3 coats to the body of the chick (avoid the eyes and beak). Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Using the Script Liner with SC016 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC075 Orange-A-Peel, apply 3 coats to the beak. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Detail Liner with SC015 Tuxedo, make a large dot in the center of each eye.
  6. After glaze is dry to the touch, take the pencil, and make a scalloped line going around the neck of the chick. Using the Detail Liner with AC302 Wax Resist, apply a coat of wax to the line.
  7. Using the Soft Fan with SG202 White Cobblestone, apply 3 even coats to the body of the chick (area below the scalloped border). Apply each coat as soon as the shine is gone. Do not wait until the glaze is completely dry, or it will start to crack and could flake off.
  8. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
