Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust
  2. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Thin with around 1 TSP of water. Apply 1 coat of thinned SC-15 Tuxedo to Lars and Lindy (not on hats). Use a damp sponge to wipe off most of the glaze, leaving it only in the crevices.
  3. Using the Script Liner with SC-60 Silver Lining, apply 2 coats to Lars’ beard. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-27 Sour Apple, apply 2 coats to their noses and hands. Apply 2 coats to the pumpkin stem. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, apply 2 coats to Lindy’s braids and Lars’ body. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using Script Liner and Soft Fan with SC-13 Grapel, apply 2 coats to Lindy’s body. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Use the pencil to draw or trace Halloween silhouettes on their bodies – spiders, bats, cats, skulls, etc.
  8. Use the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo to outline and fill in the Halloween designs. Outline the details on their bodies. Make a dot on Lindy’s nose for a wart.
  9. Using the Script Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the underside of their hats. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Using the Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 3 coats to Lindy’s hat and the body of the pumpkin. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SC-13 Grapel, SC-27 Sour Apple and SC-75 Orange-A-Peel onto the palette. Dip the Soft Fan in SC-13 Grapel and apply 1 coat around the bottom 1/3rd of the Lar’s hat. Dip the same brush into SC-27 Sour Apple and shade with the edge of the previous color. Then apply 1 coat to the middle 1/3rd of the hat. Dip the same brush into SC-75 Orange-A-Peel and shade with the edge of the previous color. Then apply 1 coat to the top 1/3rd of the hat. Repeat for a total of 3 coats.
  12. Using the Soft Fan with SG-201 Black Cobblestone, apply 1 coat to Lar’s hat. As soon as that coat loses its shine, apply a second coat to the bottom 2/3rd of the hat. As soon as that coat loses its shine, apply a third coat to the bottom 1/3rd of the hat.
  13. Using the Soft Fan with SG-202 White Cobblestone, apply 1 coat to Lindy’s hat. As soon as that coat loses its shine, apply a second coat to the bottom 2/3rd of the hat. As soon as that coat loses its shine, apply a third coat to the bottom 1/3rd of the hat.
  14. Using the Soft Fan with SG-202 White Cobblestone, apply 1 coat to the body of the pumpkin. As soon as that coat loses its shine, apply a second coat.
