Blue Yeti Mug & Yeti Jar

Jar

1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Using the Soft Fan with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 1 coat to the fur on the yeti. Do not proceed until the coat is bone dry.
3. Squeeze 1 TBS of SC-12 Moody Blue onto the palette. Thin with water.
4. Using the Soft Fan with thinned SC-12 Moody Blue, gently brush over the yeti’s fur. The glaze should be thin enough to pool in the texture.
5. Using the Script Liner with SC-11 Blue Yonder, apply 2 coats to the face, hands and feet. Allow glaze to dry between coats. After the 2nd coat is dry, apply a 3rd coat and shade around the edges with SC-76 Cara-Bein Blue.
6. Using the Script Liner with SC-12 Moody Blue, apply 2 coats to the nose and toenails. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
7. Using the Detail Liner with SC-45 My Blue Heaven, apply 2 coats to the iris on the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
8. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the details and make the pupils in the eyes.
9. Using the Detail Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, make dots in the eyes and on the nose.
10. Dip in NT-CLR Clear Dipping glaze.
11. Fire to cone 06.

Mug:

2. Using the Soft Fan with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 2 coats to the inside of the mug and the handle. Apply 1 coat to the background on the outside of the mug.
3. Take the paper and draw 3-5 stars around 1-1.5” and 5-7 stars 0.5-0.75”. You can trace star-shaped objects or use star paper punches if you want them to be precise. Cut them out.
4. Take each star, dip it in water and stick it on the background. After they are all on the background, apply 1 thin coat of SC-16 Cotton Tail over each star.
5. Using the Soft Fan and Script Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 3 coats to the background of the mug. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Before the last coat is completely dry, remove the stars.
6. Squeeze 1 TSP SC-16 Cotton Tail onto the palette. Using a brush handle, dip into SC-16 Cotton Tail. Make dots on the background of the mug. Try to concentrate them around the stars.
