Instructions

1. Begin with a properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove dust.
2. Using the CB-604 Soft Fan Brush to apply three coats of FN-001 White to the front and sides of the canvas.
3. When the shine is off the glaze, stamp the ST-127 Crackle Stamp randomly across the canvas.
4. Pencil in your design.
5. Pour SG-202 White Cobblestone into the bottle from AC-223 Large Writer Tip, use the plastic and metal tip.
6. Brush two coats of SG-202 White Cobblestone to the center area of the feather with CB-106 Script Liner. Use the Writer Tip Bottle to do the stem and feathers, apply slowly so the feathers and stems are thick.
7. When the cobblestone looses its shine, brush one coat of color over the stem and feathers, SC-10 Teal Next Time, or SC-33 Fruit of the Vine, use CB-110 Liner to apply. The center area is SC-33 Fruit of the Vine, outline with SC-11 Blue Yonder, then SC-97 Cant-elope.
8. Brush two coats of SC-11 Blue Yonder to the sides of the canvas with CB-604 Soft Fan.
9. Fire to cone 05/06.

Best Practice for Applying Glaze to a Stamp

• Leave the stamp flat on the table.
• Use a dry sponge on a stick.
• Load the dry sponge on a stick with SC-92 Cafe Ole. Dab into the glaze and blot off the excess glaze.
• Do a light up and down pouncing motion onto the ST-127 Crackle Stamp. Keep the glaze on the high part of the stamp. If pounced too hard the glaze will go into the lower part and ruin the design.
