Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Pour around 1 TBS of SG-501 Sculpting medium onto the palette. Pour around ½ oz into the AC-220 Detailer Tip and 1 oz Bottle. Cut off the very end of the tip.
  3. Dip the sponge into the sculpting medium and sponge the rim of the hat and gloves.
  4. Use the detailer bottle with sculpting medium to make a design on the collar. I did 2 parallel lines around the edge of the collar and dots in the triangles created by the upper line.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 2 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-20 Cashew Later, apply 3 coats to the face. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-26 Green thumb, apply 2 coats to the irises of the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-48 Camel Back, apply 3 coats to the hair. Use the Detail Liner to apply 1 coat to the eyebrows. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Squeeze 1 TSP of SC-2 Melon-Choly onto the palette. Dip the sponge in the glaze and sponge the cheeks. Use the Detail Liner to apply 1 coat to the lips.
  10. Take MC-001 6mm Low Track Masking Tape and make horizontal stripes on the pants. Be sure to press down firmly.
  11. Using the Script Liner with SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply 2 coats to the pants. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Before the last coat is completely dry, remove the tape.
  12. Using the Script Liner with SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply 2 coats to the shirt and hat. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  13. Using the Script Liner with SC-27 Sour Apple, apply 2 coats to the gloves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  14. Using the Script Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the boots. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  15. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the details on the elf.
  16. Using the Soft Fan with SG-704 Speckta-Clear Peppermint, apply 1 coats elf, avoiding the face and hair. Apply a 2nd coat to the areas that were plain bisque (hat band, collar, stripes on pants)
  17. Fire to cone 06.
