Instructions

Red Orange and Yellow Monster 

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the CB-104 Fan Brush, apply 3 coats of FN-009 Black to the sides of the clay canvas.
  3. Using the CB-104 Fan Brush, apply 3 coats of FN-001 White to the front of the clay canvas.
  4. Lay the SL-456 Camo Stencil over the front of the canvas.
  5. Squeeze about two tablespoons of SC-15 Tuxedo onto a palette. Pinch a section of a dry synthetic sponge and gently dab it into the glaze. Blot off any excess onto the bare portion of the plate, then gently sponge over the stencil. Repeat until the design is complete. Slowly lift the stencil to avoid smearing. Allow it to dry completely.
  6. Use the plastic spoon to scoop out some FN-004 Red and drizzle on several small puddles of glaze. Using the drinking straw, blow into the glaze so that it spreads in different directions.
  7. Repeat step 6 with both the FN-003 Orange and FN-044 Orange Yellow while the Red is still wet. The colors will mix together slightly creating a marbled effect. Let dry.
  8. Using the CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply two coats of SC-16 Cotton Tail to form the eyes.
  9. Using the CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply one generous coat of SC-15 Tuxedo to form the pupils.
  10. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
