Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Take the blue shop towel and lay it flat. Randomly squirt lines and dots of SC-6 Sunkissed, SC-11 Blue Yonder, SC-27 Sour Apple, and SP-211 Speckled Moody Blue. You should cover around half of the towel. Fold the towel in half and lightly press so that the glaze covers the inside of the towel. Gently open the towel and place over the hen. Press down and remove. Repeat until the hen is covered in glaze.
  3. Use a damp sponge to remove most of the glaze from the eyes, comb, waddles, and beak.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Use the pencil to draw irises on the eyes. Using the Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed, apply 2 coats to the irises. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Use the pencil to draw pupils on the eyes. Using the Script Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the pupils. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Detail Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, make a dot in each pupil.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, apply 3 coats to the beak. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using the Script Liner with SC-11 Blue Yonder, apply 3 coats to the waddles. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Using the Script Liner with SP-211 Speckled Moody Blue, apply 3 coats to the comb. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the details.
  12. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
