PREPARATION:  If using the stems as toad homes, cut out a door while the cast is still wet.  Use the cut out elements for signs.  See patterns.  When dry clean and fire to cone 04.
MUSHROOM CAPS AND GNOME HATS- Punch out three different size dots using dot punchers (available at Michael’s) We used computer paper for the dots.  Soak the dots in a shallow dish of water.   Apply 2 coats of FN-001 White, to the hats and caps.  After the second coat loses its sheen apply the dots where desired on the caps and hats.  Use a paper towel and press to secure the dots.  When dry enough to paint, but not totally dry, apply 3 coats of  Stroke and Coat color of choice.  We used TuTu Tango, Speckled Orange a Peel and a 1:1 mix of Speckled Sunkissed and Butter Me Up.  The dots get harder and harder to see as coats are applied, so as you paint on each coat of paint,  wipe some paint off each dot with a finger to mark for removal. (The paper dots must be removed before firing or the paper dot will burn off and leave the paint behind on your piece in a puddle.)   Once the third coat is applied and the sheen is gone from the glaze, use a sturdy pick and tweezer to peel off each dot.  If desired, shade the gnome hats with Camel Back.  When dry apply 1 coat Crystal Clear brushing.   Fire to cone 06.

WASH:  Using a wash of 1:1 Camel Back and Crackerjack, apply to bisque mushroom stems.  Wipe off with a damp sponge in a downward fashion leaving streaks of color.  Apply a wash of desired color to the words on the “toad” signs, wipe with a sponge to leave the color in the crevices only.  Apply Crystal Clear Brushing to the signs.
iujiuiAPPLY to stems where cobblestone is present: 4 coats of Marshmallow White.  Before the last coat of the Marshmallow White loses its sheen, apply the first coat of White Cobblestone. Lay the paint on the piece with a loaded brush.  Do not paint it on.  Do not over brush.    After the first coat of Cobblestone loses its sheen, apply the second coat the same way as the first.  Applying the Cobblestone this way is very important.   When finished, let the stems dry undisturbed.  Fire to cone 06.
