Hangin' with the Gnomies

My mom and I love gnomes.  Actually that big garden gnome in the background was a project this past summer.  I had to revive his lovely paint because he turned into a metal lifeless looking statue.

You just start by using red paint.  A few coats will be needed.

Once the paint dries take sand paper (and an emery board for the letters on the jar) and just sand down the jar.  This is how you achieve the distressed look.

The gnome and the mushroom are made out of Sculpey oven bake clay.
