Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Take the pencil and draw a wavy line going around the neck of each chicken. This will separate the 2 colors.
  3. Using the Script Liner with SC-77 Glo-Worm, apply 3 coats to the top half of the chickens. Avoid the eyes, beak, waddles, and comb. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Squeeze out around 1 tsp SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Dip the pencil eraser in the glaze and stamp onto the eye. This will make the pupil. Repeat for the second eye.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-97 Cant-elope, apply 3 coats to the beaks. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-88 Tu Tu Tango, apply 3 coats to the comb and waddles. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using FD-258 Pure White, make a line going around the wavy line separating the top and bottom of the chicken. You can also make decorative feathers on top of the neck area.
  9. Using the Soft Fan with CG-753 Sassy Orange (orange hen), CG-756 Firecracker (red rooster) and CG-987 Tree Frog (green hen), apply 3 coats to the bottom half of each chicken. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
