Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 06 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using CB-604 Soft Fan, apply FN-004 Red to the backside and along the side edge of the plate. Allow glaze to lose its shine between coats. Apply 3 coats. Seminar mode: glaze the back of the plate last. The front of the plate dries quicker.
  3. With AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace the pattern onto the front of the bisque with a pencil.
  4. Using SG-401 Black, outline the traced image. Dip the CB-106 #6 Script Liner in water, then sideload the brush with a small amount SG-401 Black and brush along the previously drawn SG-401 Black line. Repeat process with dipping the CB-106 #6 Script Liner in water, then sideloading into SG-401 Black until the entire outline has been faded. Be sure to brush along the eyebrow and lower eyelid of the elephant.
  5. To add flowers on the elephant’s head, draw a quarter-sized circle with SG-410 Bright Blue on the forehead and bottom of the ear. Using CB-110 #10/0 Liner, evenly brush to a solid colored circle. Allow to dry.
  6. On top of the SG-410 Bright Blue circle (on the forehead and ear), draw a slightly smaller circle using SG-403 Red. Using CB-110 #10/0 Liner, evenly brush to a solid colored circle. Allow to dry.
  7. On top of the SG-403 Red circle (on the forehead and ear), draw a slightly smaller circle using SG-407 Yellow. Using CB-110 #10/0 Liner, evenly brush to a solid colored circle. Allow to dry.
  8. On top of the SG-407 Yellow circle (on the forehead and ear), draw and fill in a smaller circle using SG-405 Green. Allow to dry.
  9. With alternating colors, use SG-403 Red, SG-407 Yellow, SG-408 Orange, SG-409 Bright Green, and SG-410 Bright Blue to add small dots and decorate the previously drawn circles.
  10. Using SG-405 Green, draw vines on the head and ears, filling in the leaves with a thin coat. Allow to dry. Add dots of SG-407 Yellow on leaves.
  11. Using SG-407 Yellow, SG-403 Red, and SG-404 Blue, draw small flowers around the vines.
  12. Go back through the design and add dots along with the design with all of the Designer Liner Colors. Allow to dry.
  13. Using CB-110 #10/0 Liner, dot on SC-16 Cotton Tail to the eyes.
  14. Using SG-404 Blue, SG-403 Red, and SG-409 Bright Green, apply a border by dotting along the outer edge of the bisque. Alternate colors as shown.
  15. Allow to dry. Apply clear glaze of choice to the interior and exterior of bisque.
  16. Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06/05.
