Instructions

  1. Pour CD046 Fairy Plaque mold ¼” thick. Refer to casting instructions.
  2. Once it is firm enough to handle, use the sponge to smooth down casting lines.
  3. Fire to cone 04.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-3 Wine About It, apply 1 coat to the dress. Allow glaze to dry. Use a damp sponge to wipe off most of the glaze, leaving it only in the crevices.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-25 Crackerjack Brown, apply 1 coat to the hair. Allow glaze to dry. Use a damp sponge to wipe off most of the glaze, leaving it only in the crevices.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-29 Blue Grass, apply 1 coat to the wings. Allow glaze to dry. Use a damp sponge to wipe off most of the glaze, leaving it only in the crevices.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-46 Rawhide, apply 1 coat to skin (do not glaze eyes). While glaze is still wet, blend SC-51 Poo Bear down to the edges of each section. This will give the skin areas more dimension. Repeat for a 2nd coat.
  8. Squeeze out around 1 TSP of SC-2 Melon-Choly onto the palette. Dip the sponge in the glaze and sponge the palette a couple times to remove any excess glaze. Sponge the cheeks.
  9. Using the Detail Liner with SC-28 Blue Isle, apply 2 coats to the iris of each eye. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Using the same brush with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply a dot to each eye for the pupil. Outline the eyes and add eyelashes.
  10. Using the Detail Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 1 dot to each eye.
  11. Using the Detail Liner with SC-25 Crackerjack Brown, apply 1 line to each eyebrow. Use the same brush with SC-15 to add individual hairs to the eyebrows.
  12. Using the Detail Liner with SC-3 Wine About It, apply 1 coat to the lips.
  13. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, add a line between the lips and dots in the nostrils.
  14. Using the Script Liner with SC-42 Butter Me Up, apple 2 coats to the hair. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Using the same brush with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply a few strokes to the high points of the hair for highlights.
  15. Using the Script Liner with SC-1 Pink-A-Boo, apply 2 coats to the dress. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  16. Using the Detail Liner with SC-3 Wine About It, apply 2 coats to the ribbons on the dress. Use the Script Liner to apply 2 coats to the inside of the dress at the bottom. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  17. Using the Script Liner with SC-65 Peri-Twinkle, apply 2 coats to boots. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  18. Using the Script Liner with SC-28 Blue Isle, apply 1 coat to the section of the wing closest to the body. Blend with SC-45 My Blue Heaven, until you reach the scallop going down the wing. Do one wing at a time so that the glaze does not dry why you are trying to blend. Repeat for a 2nd coat. Repeat for all wings.
  19. Using the Script Liner with SC-96 Aqu-ward, apply 1 coat to the outer, ribbed section of the wing. As you get close to the edge, dip the brush into SC-9 Jaded and blend out to the edge. Repeat for a 2nd coat. Repeat for all wings.
  20. Using the script Liner with SC-29 Blue Grass, apply 2 coats to the scallops on the wings. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
