Instructions
- Using a Dremel Drill, drill holes in the MB-1088 Round Bank for the placement of dowel rods for antennas.
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- With a pencil draw a face on the bank.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SC-58 501 Blues to one large ornament ball and one small ornament ball.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SC-27 Sour Apple to one large ornament ball, one small ornament ball and the bank (head), excluding eye, nose and mouth circles.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of S-2701 Peacock Eyes to both large ornament balls, both small ornament balls and the bank (head) excluding eye, nose and mouth circles.
- Using a CB-404 #4 Pointed Round, apply, in a blended circular pattern, 3 coats of SC-77 Glow Worm, SC-27 Sour Apple and SC-8 Just Froggy to the center area of eyes and circles of the mouth.
