Instructions
-
Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
-
Slightly thin FN-051 Strawberry, pour inside the vase and rorate to coat. Pour out and drain excess glaze.
-
Use the Soft Fan to apply two coats of FN-001 White to the top section of the vase.
-
Punch out the various sizes of snowflakes. Brush water over the area for the paper snowflake then press the paper onto the wet surface. Gently press with a paper towel to remove excess water and to ensure the edges are sealed. Count the snowflakes so you are sure to remove them all later in the decorating process.
-
Use the Soft Fan to apply three coats of FN-051 Strawberry to the top section of the vase, going over the snowflakes. Remove the paper snowflakes before the last coat of glaze is completely dry.
-
Pencil on the nose and beard section on the front side of the vase. Brush the beard area with one coat of SC-16 Cotton Tail. Next, add streaks of SC-16 Cotton Tail with long strokes of color. Add SC-35 Gray Hare to the brush to create light grey streaks into the beard for shadow.
-
Use the Script Liner to apply two or three coats of SC-20 Cashew Later to the nose. Add brush strokes of SC-2 Melon-Choly to redden the nose.
-
Shade on both sides of the nose using SC-35 Gray Hare.
-
Use the Soft Fan and Script Liner to add SC-35 Gray Hare to the remainder of the vase around the beard. Add FN-001 White to the brush sporadically to lighten the Gray Hare so it isn’t all the same color. Apply two coats in a vertical direction.
-
Use the Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo to outline the nose and mark lines in the beard as shown.
-
Use the Soft Fan to apply one coat of SG-701 Star Dust to the red area of the vase. Use the same brush to apply NT-BR Clear Brushing Glaze to the remainder of the vase.
-
Fire to cone 05/06.
- Add a white pom pom to the top of the vase for a fun look!
