Instructions

  1. Wipe dust from bisque with a damp sponge.
  2. Using a pencil, lightly trace circles for the eyes.
  3. Using a #8 soft fan brush (RB140) apply 3 coats of SW508 Black Gloss to the entire bowl avoiding the eyes.
  4. Let dry completely.
  5. With a pencil, lightly draw lines that will become “strips”.
  6. Using Wax Resist AC302 in a Designer Liner Bottle AC219 or with a #4 Liner Brush (RB104)  trace the “strip” lines with wax.  
  7. Once the wax is completely dry, apply 2 coats of SG202 White Cobblestone with a broad brush #8 soft fan brush (RB140). Avoiding the eyes.
    *IMPORTANT*  Apply the 2nd coat while the 1st coat is still damp. Do not let the Cobblestone to dry between coats. Pattern break-up is determined by the application direction of the brush stroke. Large break up heavier application, small breakup lighter application. If application is too light the cobblestone will not break up. Reapplying and touching up will not achieve a break up. 
  8. With #8 Round Brush (RB 118) apply 2 coats of SW501 White Gloss and SW 508 Black Gloss to the eyes.
  9. Using a #4  Liner Brush (RB104)  add SC077 Glo-Worm to the whites of the eyes.
  10. Fire to cone 6.
