Instructions

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Slightly thin S-2101 Crystal Clear Brushing Glaze with water (3:1), pour into the vase and roll to coat the inside. Drain excess glaze.
3. Using the CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, brush on 3 coats of SC-77 Glo-worm to the top, tail, and fins of the vase. 
4. Using the CB-106 #6 Script Liner apply 3 coats of SC-28 Blue Islde to the lips and the inside of the fish.
5. Use the Sponge-on-a-Stick to apply SC-34 Down To Earth onto the ST-124 Maize stamp. Press onto the top section of the fish.
6. Use the Script Liner to apply 1 coat of SC-15 Tuxedo to the eyes.
7. Using the Soft Fan apply 3 coats of S-2704 Lotus Blossom to the body of the fish.
8. Using the Soft Fan apply 1 coat of S-2704 Lotus Blossom over the Glo-Worm section of the fish. While the color is still wet brush lightly with water to get the glaze to move so the Glo-worm shows brighter on the highlights.
9. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
