Turning Garden Gnome into Fairy Character: Stone, Moss Imitation

An ordinary garden gnome decorating a flower bed is no surprise now.
But you cannot place an expensive designer sculpture in the garden.
So why not make it yourself? :)

Mysterious, with a complex stone texture, as if descended from the pages of a fairy tale, a gnome can be created from the most ordinary figures from a DIY store.
You just need a bit of materials and imagination!

For work you will need:

  • gnome sculpture;
  • degreasing liquid;
  • acrylic primer;
  • self-hardening clay;
  • super glue;
  • rough relief paste;
  • household hair dryer;
  • acrylic paints (raw umber, ivory, white)
  • paints for moss (chromium oxide, bright green, burnt umber, yellow ochre);
  • construction mat lacquer;
  • candles.
