Now take your fence and scissors

Fence

Cut your fence like this if you want a corner Vignette like mine is. You can leave the fence whole and size it to fit one side of your frame

cut

I used quick grab glue because it dries fast and the glue is easy to cover with paint. Glue the bottom parts together first. If you over glue, don't worry!! Don't try and clean it because you will smudge it over the clay. The glue spots will be covered by flowers if you do not smudge. Once you glue the bottom parts to the base. Glue the fence joints together. If you over glue and it show, do not worry, you can paint this glue when it dries
Glue

Take a drop of brown paint and over load your brush with water. Smear only the tip of your brush over the stones (Try not to get any in between the stones). Add this VERY lightly on about 3 stones
brown water

Do the same with Dark Burnt Umber

Roll the clay to the thickness of piecrust

Roll the clay

I always like a straight edge so I can have a clean line on one side. Then cut off the excess
Straight edge

You should pounce your brush all over the clay to texture it

Pounce w/Brush

Put the frame and clay base together. Press firmly to smoosh the clay around the edges

Clay & Frame

Take your Mortar tool & stylus out.I made my mortar tool from a old plastic card that came in the mail. You can use a skewer for cleaning the lines. Use sand paper to round the tip off so it won't be too pointy

Tools

Put the frame back on this so as it dries, the base won't warp

Frame back
