Walk your fingers through a bamboo forest in search of a zebra. Hands down, the best Safari in town.

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Using the RB-144 #4 Reflections Soft Fan and FN-016 Harvest Orange, apply 3 coats of glaze to the entire piece of bisque.
3. Using the same brush, apply 1 liberal coat of SC-16 Cotton Tail on the child's hand and part of the wrist which creates the neck.
4. Press arm and thumb down on to the plate with the thumb up to serve as the ear. Allow to dry.
5. Paint 1 coat of SC-25 Crackerjack Brown on the fingers from the lower knuckle crease down. Immediatley follow with a coat of SC-14 Java Bean over ¾ of the fingers.
6. Line up thumb with the ear previously created and press fingers down to create the muzzle.
7. Using the little finger, press SC-14 Java Bean on to the ear. Using the forefinger, dot the eye.
8. While the hand is drying create the bamboo.
9. Using the AC-213 Sponge-on-a-Stick dab SC-26 Green Thumb on to the ST-119 Bamboo Stamp. Press stamp down on to the plate. Re-apply glaze each time you stamp.
10. Fill the AC-223 Large Writer Tip bottle with SC-15 Tuxedo. With a pencil lightly sketch where you want the stripes. Color in the lines with the SC-15 Tuxedo. With the same bottle of SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the zebra body and eyes.
11. Allow to dry.
12. Stilt and fire to cone 06
