PREPARATION:  After removing casts from molds, slip attach hand attachments as desired.  Before attaching, place any holes necessary for light clips, electrical, flags, dowels or sticks.  If using solar landscape lights, cut out a hole in hand to fit, allow room for shrinkage.  Clean and fire to cone 04.

NOTE:  It is easiest to basecoat and drybrush the red areas first since the over drybrush will get on most of the other areas.  Apply basecoats and wash to the other areas once the red areas are finished.

DRYBRUSH:  Red areas with 2 heavy coats of Antique Red, 2 heavy coats of Christmas Red, add Orange to your and dry brush 2 coats.  Continue with Orange and blend the orange with the Red.  This will take several coats.  See Mushroom instructions for applying paint.  Buttermilk areas with 1 coat of Buttermilk, followed with 2 coats of White.  Beards with 1 coat of Med. Gray, followed with 3 to 4 coats of White, or to desired whiteness.  Green areas with 1 coat of Sage, followed with 2 to 3 coats of Lime Burst, highlight with Brightest Yellow.
