Gradient Jungle Gem Mushrooms

Instructions

Damp sponge the surface to remove any dust.
Use the #4 Soft Fan to apply two coats of Ivory Cream to the stems of all three mushrooms.
Select the combination of Jungle Gem colors for the mushroom tops. On the samples shown, the outermost edge and underside had three coats of the listed color applied, and immediately the color listed on the top of innermost part was applied while the first color was still wet, allowing the colors to blend or flow together a little bit. This way you don’t have a perfect line where the colors meet. Note that the matte Jungle Gems don’t move in a cone 06 firing so they will not flow or blend more during firing.
1. Curly Mushroom – Bottom edge Haystack and top Papaya
2. Ribbed Mushroom – Bottom edge Periwinkle Sky and top with Frosted Berries
3. Dotted Mushroom – Outer edge Asteroid and inner top Pink Plum
Use the #10/0 Detail Liner to apply strokes of Juniper on the stem of the mushroom creating grass and stems to the flowers. Notice how the E-Z Strokes can be used on top of the matte Foundation glaze since the glaze does not move so the design stays crisp. Use the other E-Z Stroke colors listed in the materials list to dot small 5 petal flowers randomly on top of the stems of grass around the mushroom. Apply a dot of Butter in the center of each flower.
Stilt and fire to cone 06. The matte Jungle Gems and stem of the mushrooms should fire out with a soft sheen of the matte glaze. A glossier finish can appear with hotter firings.
