Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SC-86 Old Lace to the belly of the owl.
  3. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-54 to the edges of the belly fading it into the middle.
  4. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-16 Cotton Tail to the eyes.
  5. Using a combination of a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan and a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 3 coats of SC-5 Tiger Tail to the wings, the inside, and to the outsides of the eyes. This will also be part of the iris, but you will only need 2 coats for that.
  6. Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-14 Java bean around the edge of the iris and let it fade to the middle.
  7. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 2 coats of SC-42 Butter Me Up to the beak and feet.
  8. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 1 coat of SC-15 Tuxedo to the pupils.
