Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.

  5. Brush SC-11 Blue Yonder using CB-106 Script Liner, around the lettering "Anyone can FLy", and the girl, follow the shape of the girl and the letters with your brushstrokes. Do not add water to the color, apply evenly. Apply two coats, on the second coat, apply SC-31 The Blues in the shadow areas.
  6. Hold a piece of paper against the borders, hold the SL-441 Spots Stencil on the bisque, roll gently over with the 2" roller, SC-11 BLue Yonder, add SC-31 THe Blues to the roller and roll once over before removing the stencil. Do all the borders.
  7. Use SG-402 White to fill in the stars.
