Curly Cobblestone Mushroom

Designer: Bailie Benson

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN009 Black, apply 2 coats to the whole mushroom. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Using the Detail Liner with AC302 Wax Resist, outline circles on the cap of the mushroom.
  4. Using the script liner brush, apply two coats of SC104 to the underside/gills of the cap.
  5. Using a drybrush technique with the script liner brush, apply 1 coat of SC103 to highlight the ridges of the gills.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SG202 White Cobblestone, apply 2-3 coats to the cap of the mushroom. When the final coat loses its shine, apply 1 coat of SC-101 to the main portion of the cap and SC103 to the dots.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SG202 White Cobblestone, apply 2-3 coats to the stem of the mushroom. When the final coat loses its shine, apply 1 coat of SC103.
  8. Stilt and fire to cone 06.

VARIATIONS AND ADAPTATIONS: Uneven coats of White Cobblestone will give more variation in your cobblestone effect after firing.
