Texture Crackle

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 brown
I sprayed it with a "fixative"
It is now ready to stitch to a fabric background
This was so much fun, give it a try!
