Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Print two copies of the pattern and cut out both of them. Set one aside for now.
- Center one of the patterns on the pot and sketch a line around the pattern about ¼” beyond the pattern.
- Using a CB-406 #6 Pointed Round, apply 2 coats of SC-86 Old Lace to owl area. Allow to dry.
- Position the pattern onto the SC-86 Old Lace area. With a Fan Brush, apply water under the pattern then press into place. Blot with a paper towel to remove any excess water and any bubbles. With a damp sponge, clean up around the edges of the pattern, be careful not to wet the pattern too much so it does not rip.
- Position the pot on a banding wheel and center it.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, starting at the bottom of the pot, band with SC-31 The Blues, the middle with SC-76 Cara-bein Blue and then the top and the inside rim with SC-32 Bluebeard. Blend each color into the next.
- Remove the pattern after all the banding of the background is done. Allow to dry.
- With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, use the other cut out pattern and trace on all the details of the owls.
- Using a CB-404 #4 Pointed Round, load the brush with water, tap off excess on a paper towel and side load in SC-14 Java Bean then pressure stroke in each of the owl feathers. Float some SC-14 Java Bean on the chest around the wings, feet and around the eyes.
- Float SC-15 Tuxedo on the tree branch and leaf.
- Using a CB-404 #4 Pointed Round, apply 2 coats of SC-24 Dandelion to the iris of the eyes and SC-15 Tuxedo to the pupils. Add a highlight with SC-86 Old Lace.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, detail the design with SC-15 Tuxedo. Allow to dry.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of S-2101 Crystal Clear to the outside of the pot and 2 coats to the inside or apply the clear glaze of our choice. Allow to dry.
- Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06/05.
