Kewpie doll

Turn a blank ceramic form into a cute kewpie doll ornament with a little bit of help from Resene.

Resene Toys and Games with Mark Rayner - Project 08

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: Bisqued ceramic kewpie doll (ours came from www.greenware.co.nz), Paintbrushes, Resene Art Action glaze (gloss), Resene Quick Dry, Resene testpots in Resene Alabaster, Resene All Black, Resene Hopskotch, Resene Princess, Resene Root Beer and Resene Sports Star

To get the look: Mark painted the table with Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Hopskotch.
