Instructions

  1. Begin with a properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove dust.
  2.  Using the Soft Fan with FN-006 Blue, apply 3 coats over the tile. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Place the SL-441 Spots Stencil over the tile.
  4. Squeeze about 1 TBS of SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Dip the sponge on a stick into the glaze and blot off any excess onto the palette. Sponge over the stencil until it is completely covered. Lift the stencil.
  5. Using the scissors, cut the fish from the pattern. Trace the fish onto the tile with the pencil.
  6. Using the X-ACTO knife, scrape away the glaze under the fish’s face.
  7. Using the Detail Liner with AC-302 Wax Resist, trace the body and fins of the fish. Do not trace around the face.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-86 Old Lace, apply 2 coats to the face. Shade with SC-2 Melon-Choly. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using the Detail Liner with SC-2 Melon-Choly, apply 2 coats to the lips. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the details of the face and make an eye.
  11. Using the Detail Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, make a dot in the center of the eye.
  12. Using the Script Liner with SG-202 White Cobblestone, apply 1 coat to the fins and 2 coats to the body. Apply the second coat after the first coat is no longer shiny.
  13. Using the Script Liner with SC-33 Fruit of the Vine and SC-2 Melon-Choly, apply 1 coat to the fins. This must be done before the cobblestone starts to crack.
  14. Using the Script Liner with SC-33 Fruit of the Vine and SC-85 Orkid, apply 1 coat to the body. This must be done before the cobblestone starts to crack.
  15. Fire to cone 06.
