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 2 scalloped lines going around the neck of each chicken. This will separate the 3 colors. If you want wings, draw those on at this time. You can cut out the pattern and trace it on or use your own pattern.
  3. Using the Script Liner with SC-96 Aqu-ward, apply 3 coats to upper portions of the chickens. Avoid the eyes, beak, waddles, and comb. Apply 3 coats to the front sections of the wings. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-9 Jaded, apply 3 coats to the middle portion of the chickens. Apply 3 coats to the back section of the wings. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the eyes. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Squeeze out around 1 tsp SC-10 Teal Next Time 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.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-9 Jaded, apply 3 coats to the beaks. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-10 Teal Next Time, apply 3 coats to the comb and waddles. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using FD-258 Pure White, make a line going around the scalloped lines separating the top, middle, and bottom of the chicken. Make a line going around the wings. You can also add decorative lines or dots.
  10. Using the Soft Fan with CG-962 Blue Azure apply 3 coats to the bottom half of each chicken. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
