INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the pattern pieces

Attach the pattern using spray adhesive and make all cuts, then sand as needed.

Transfer the paint pattern

Transfer the painting lines onto the wood pieces. Tip: transfer only the lines you feel are absolutely necessary for your level of painting.

Paint the flowers and leaves

Basecoat the flowers with Pink Frosting (see Fig. 1), then float shade with Pink Parfait (see Fig. 2). Next, re-float the flowers with Royal Fuchsia and dip dot the centers with Crocus Green (see Fig. 3).

Basecoat the leaves with Leaf Green (see Fig. 4) and then dry brush the centers with Crocus Green (see Fig. 5). Next, float shade Hunter Green on the outer edges (see Fig. 6) and add the veins (see Fig. 7).

Paint the robe and rocks

First, basecoat the robe with GP Purple, then float shade and wash with Purple. Dry brush the robe with Lilac.

Basecoat the rocks with Maple Sugar, then stipple with Mello Yellow. Float shade with Brown Iron Oxide, then re-float the edges with Burnt Umber. Stipple with Brown Iron Oxide, followed by a second stippling with Mello Yellow.

Glue up the cross

Lay the cross mold (A) on a flat surface. Arrange the bottom layer of dogwood leaves (B) into the cross mold, filling it as best you can, then arrange the next layer of leaves and dogwood blossoms (C), gluing them in place on top of the first layer. Follow with a third layer of dogwood blossoms. Note: all of the pieces need to be glued to other pieces; the more pieces you have overlapping, the stronger your cross will be. Once finished, remove the mold and allow the glue to dry.

Assemble the robe

Glue the robe tops (H) to the top of the "U" shaped robe (E). making sure it is flush and perpendicular. Glue the robe left (F) to this assembly (see Fig. 8). Repeat on the other end of the "U" with the robe right (G).

Make the base

Glue the base middle (J) to the base bottom (K) as shown in Fig. 9, then glue the rocks (D) to the base top (I). Glue these two assemblies together.

Final assembly

Glue the cross assembly to the base assembly and allow to dry, then glue the robe assembly into place on the cross assembly. Allow glue to dry for at least one hour. ^
