Elements and Wax Snail Container

Instructions

Begin by wiping down the MB1629 Small Snail Planter with a damp sponge to remove dust.
Apply two coats of FN028 to the whole body of the snail, inside and out, leaving the eyes, face and bottom of foot unglazed.
Prep the Mini Liner brush for wax with a coat of soap.
Dip the soaped Mini Liner in wax resist.
Draw the shell line details and any other line work with the wax.
Allow wax to dry.
Using the Script Liner with EL136 Lapis Lagoon, apply 1 coat to every third section of the shell and the upper portion of the foot.
Using the Script Liner with EL130 Sea Green, apply 1 coat to every third section of the shell.
Using the Script Liner with EL153 Caribbean Blue, apply 1 coat to every third section of the shell.
Repeat Steps 4-6 for a second coat of color.
Repeat Steps 4-6 for a third coat of color, but only apply the glaze to the center portion of each section (the inner area ¼” from the edge of each section). It does not have to be exact, just do not glaze right next to the wax line.
Apply three coats of EL101 Oyster Shell to everything but the shell, upper foot, and eyeballs.
Apply three coats of SC015 to the eyes.
Add two small dots of SC016 to the eyes to mimic shine.
Allow glaze to completely dry.
Stilt and fire to cone 06.
