I read about this Crackle and had to get some. Micheals carries it.
I purchase primed canvas by the yard at my art store. I slathered the crackke med. on with a palette knife. I let it dry over night...Look at those cracks!! Big cracks where it was thicker.
I then sketched on a little nest.
I was wondering what watercolors would do, I wanted it to sink into the cracks.
This is a close up after I used permanent pins in black and brownI sprayed it with a "fixative"
It is now ready to stitch to a fabric background
This was so much fun, give it a try!

Love it. Have a dumb question. Did you stitch it down by had or machine? Was it hard and think and did it stitch ok.? Maybe that was a few dumb questions. Sorry but really want to know... Thanks Sharon
Very interesting, can't wait to see the final piece.

Wow, what a great effect. I wonder if we can get this in the UK - I haven't seen anything giving such lovely deep cracks, especially as a single application! Thanks for sharing.
