Instructions

Fish:

  1. Paint the entire fish in SC-16 Cotton Tail, three coats. Let dry between coats.
  2. Paint three coats on the fins in contrasting colors, they can match or you can mix up the colors.
  3. Use the liner brush and SC-7 Leapin’ Lizard to paint on the green leaves and vines. Let dry and add a second coat.
  4. Fill in the eyes with three coats of SC-16 Cotton Tail, SC-28 Blue Isle and SC-15 Tuxedo.
  5. Once all the background colors are dry, add accent designs, such as flowers and polka dots.
  6. Let dry and dip and fire to cone 06

Bee:

  1. Paint three coats of SC-20 Cashew Later on the face and arms.
  2. Use the thin liner brush to add details to face – the eyes, and mouth.
  3. Paint each section of the body a different color, three coats. Let dry between coats.
  4. Use the back end of the paintbrush as the thin liner brush to add accents to each section. Make sure to use a contrasting color. For example: (Body)SC-76 Cara-bein Blue, topped with SC-88 TuTu Tango (feet) and SC-6 Sunkissed (top). SC-28 Blue Isle topped with SC-87 Ruby Slippers. SC-11 Blue Yonder topped with SC-6 Sunkissed

Penguin:

  1. Each alebrije comes to life through the energy and creativity of the artist. Use your intuition to create your own custom alebrije!
  2. Here are some guidelines to help:
    1. Think of your color in opposites. Paint each section of the penguin in a different color, three coats.
    2. Use a bold and contrasting color to go on top of each section and use dashes, dots, hash marks, even hearts to add interesting character to your alebrije.
    3. Give it a name and a superpower!
  3. Glaze and fire to cone 06
