I love this technique! I have used this two step crackle medium on some of my painted pieces but I love it on the decoupage piece! Thank you for sharing!
Really beautiful. I never thought to add crushed pastels with my mica powders. Great idea! I imagine my unused eye shadows and blush would work too. Oh! The possibilities! TFS!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Denver Elisha Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Thanks for the tutorial. It’s beautiful. If you have video of how you’re achieving such perfect borders around your pieces, I’d love to watch. Thanks again!
Well I just subscribed because I like what you do with the napkin application idea and I just watched your crackle method which I really like! Thank you for these videos, will look forward to seeing more of what you do. 🙂
This heart looks so beautiful, and you're right, the 2 - step crackle glaze does give it a real porcelain look. I've been practising your water transfer method with napkins and I love it. It definitely gets easier with time! When you get the hang of it, it's fun to do. Thanks, love from Amanda in Australia.:-)
Just discovered your channel, and I love these gifts you’ve made. Thanks for the thorough explanation with tips for good crackle effects. I’ve been nervous to try this, but I think I’ll give it a go now!
Very pretty. Love how this looks. I used crackle medium years ago. Need to get some and make some pretty pieces. New subbie to your channel. Glad you came up on my feed.
This is so beautiful! I have never done something like this before, but I have done napkin art, so I definitely want to try this! I also loved your "wet" napkin application so I will be trying that also. Thank you!!😊
That is adorable. I love working with crackle. I use a different one but you can see it on my latest resin geode video, my first geode painting turned out beautiful.
great, thanks for taking the time to record this, love the look of the crackle effect , gives your pieces an old world look. Can I ask how many coasters you'd get out of the 1 litre bottle, just wondering which is better value, thanks so much 😊
oo 1 litre bottle will give you quite a bit, difficult to say as I bought this crackle like 5 years ago when I first started decoupaging and then didn't use it for 3 years + I used it on many different projects so it's really hard to tell. all I can say is that I got way more out of my little bottles then I thought I would!
Here in the states Deco Art mades 1 one step crackle. You put it on a painted surface let it dry and apply a complementing color on top. The top coat crackles and you see the bottom color through the cracks. Then varnish.
Thank you thank you so much for your clear precise explanations. I bought these the bundle of crackling paint. However, I was waiting for two days for the type one layer to dry. No until you explain that the layer remained sticky I could understand the process. I thought I was the same as the cracking glace which I had to wait until it was perfectly dry.
Love it! Looks like an old delft blue tile! What's the brand of the metallic pigments, please? Great tip for the varnish too! Thank you and Happy New year!
Brilliant tutorial. Can’t seem to find the two step glaze here in the UK. Just wondering if Cosmic Shimmer Craquelure Glaze might work the same. Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE this crackle look! Your ornament is just GORGEOUS!! I've looked everywhere and can't find your recommended crackle medium...can you provide a link? Thank you for sharing your gift🌻
Your work is so beautiful. I am going to try the crackle glazing. Can you tell me what the pigment is that you are using and where in the uk I can purchase it please. Thank you
Can I please ask , l bought some 5 ml foam board and I want to paint it with acrylic paint but it does seem rather glossy ,would I be able to lightly sand it , to do you have a better option that would work . Many thanks for your fabulous tutorials . X
you defnitely can on pieces that wont get used as much so for something that's just gonna hang and look pretty you can definitely just mod podge, but for somthing that's gonna be used more I'd recommend varnish
Thank you for the video...enjoyed it very much! Comment and question please - after applying the pigment, you wipe off the access. This leaves a thin layer on top of the entire project. It's not so noticeable on the bluebird napkin project, but very apparent on this heart ornament that has so much white. Can you simply use a damp (with water or other product) cloth to clean the project of the access surface pigment without disturbing the crackle pigment areas? Once again, thank you. DJ
What a great video! Now I understand how crackle works and how you made my beautiful bird plaque that you showed in the corner. I didn't think that you rambled at all in the beginning; it was useful info. Have you ever done crackle in a shade of the one on the object you are working on? Like doing a light blue on that heart, or would that even work. I love your hearts. You are truly an artist. (That's great that the pastels are still useful to you.)
Thank you so much lovely, I had to show your plaque off it’s too nice 😄🥰 I haven’t thought about that’s kind of shading to be fair, great idea 😄 see I need you in my life! 🙌💐
Very nice creation. I would like to see how you crackle medium size picture. I have one that is about 8 by 10 that I would like to give a very old antique art look. Hope that is don't that you would do a video.
We're can I purchase the Dailey Art Crackle mediums in the USA. I found in inEurope but won't ship.I loved your video on crackle. I,m a professional violinmaker and use the technique on my antique copies. Thank you for your help. Agustino Napoli On
I have just watched this video. I am working on a project and would love to use crackle on my decoupage paper like this. Will this effect work with Pentart crackle medium? I am not sure what kind you are using on this. The crackle medium I have is classical crackle medium not fine line. I cannot find the Daily Art crackle medium. Have you ever found it again?
Ps...Love the jar tip...easier than lifting metal lid on varnish. Wilko waterbased varnish....oooh, I'll have to try that - cheaper than Polycrylic...! x
Thank you. I have never done this. Looks awesome. 💖 If you are doing the coasters, what do you use so that they can have a hot cup of tea or coffee on them, without melting the varnish?
Hello, there is a video on my channel now showing how I make my coasters as well, but to answer in short - Polyvine heavy duty wood varnish, it is water based but also heat and water resistant so I just apply 3-4 coats to each side ☺️
@@IvetaZiedina Thank you! Yes, I watched your video on making coasters already. I actually do a different kind of art and I have been trying to find a varnish that could be used on coasters, with no luck so far. I have searched and it seems that I can get this varnish in Australia. So thank you heaps 💕💕💕 I love what you are doing too 💖💖💖
Thank you for taking the time to make a video and to share it with us, it's beautiful! I just had a vision and it might take a bit of work, but I just saw my tub/shower encloser in this image on separate tiles. I would make the tiles first and then paste and grout them as one. Do you think I should add crackle to the grout also? Would it undo the sealing part of grout? I could do the crackle and not put in any pigment so it wouldn't take away from the look of the tiles. Do you think this would work and of course I would add a waterproof sealant.
Ooo that's a very difficult question for me to answer as I know nothing about tiles and how you apply them etc. I do know that people have decoupaged on to tiles that are already on the wall. as long as the tile is on the wall properly you can apply anything on to the facing side. same goes with the crackle, I as long as after you've done your decoupage/crackle/anyting else you might want to do you seal it with the right kind of sealant you're going to be absolutely fine. That being said, You should also be able to do it before the tile is on the wall as you're only going to be working with one side of it so as long as the other side stays untouched you should be fine. In theory :D
I tried it on a plate it came out beautifully until i used the glossy varnish. the top layer became rough and started pealing. what is it that went wrong
Very helpfull video. Usually i skip through tutorials but i enjoyed your calm and casual tone.
I have learned tons from this and love your attitude and voice
thanks so much you explain wonderfully!
You have very cleverly made something that I initially thought was chinese cloisonné. Wow its painted plywood!!! Bloody brilliant.
I love these tutorials. Please, please do more of them! Your projects are lovely.
I want to crackle over a painting for antique effect, so this is the most useful video on the subject I've seen. Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial! You could not have done a better job of showing us how you do this. Thank you so much!
I love this technique! I have used this two step crackle medium on some of my painted pieces but I love it on the decoupage piece! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful work. Loving the tip on transferring the varnish to a jar! So simple :)
Thanks for the tutorial. It’s beautiful. If you have video of how you’re achieving such perfect borders around your pieces, I’d love to watch. Thanks again!

Thanks for another terrific video. You made another gorgeous ornament. Love this technique, following the crackle medium. Pastels sound perfect.
Wonderful! Love some of your tutorials. Will share in the future on my blog (beadinggem) so others can come learn!
Found this channel yesterday - love it!! Subbed - of course!!!
I never heard of adding pigment to bring out the cracks - brilliant!
Just found you. Excellent video; great directions & description of products. I can't wait to try this.
Very pretty. Love how this looks.
I used crackle medium years ago. Need to get some and make some pretty pieces.

So glad to have seen your video!! Thank you oohhh sooo much...I want to try it.
Beautiful idea and well done instructional video
That is just beautiful! Thank you so much for the wonderful tips. What do you use on the back? Is it just painted?
I painted it black and then applied gold decor wax on top and that’s it as it doesn’t need sealing
Hola! Muy bello su trabajo, lo haces ver muy sencillo, gracias por compartir tus tutoriales.
THANK YOU, ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.

Good video. Please show how to prepare Pastel colour for filling cracks.
I just love it 😍
Love this idea 😍
simple and lovely, thanks
thank you!
Brilliant tutorial. Can’t seem to find the two step glaze here in the UK. Just wondering if Cosmic Shimmer Craquelure Glaze might work the same. Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE this crackle look! Your ornament is just GORGEOUS!! I've looked everywhere and can't find your recommended crackle medium...can you provide a link? Thank you for sharing your gift🌻
You know you can do crackle without buying expensive packs for that effect. You can use PVA aka Elmers glue and paint. Have a look on Pinterest.
Shabby Art Boutique has a blog and pins on Pinterest she tells how to get that look with just paint and PVA aka elmers glue.
Your work is so beautiful. I am going to try the crackle glazing. Can you tell me what the pigment is that you are using and where in the uk I can purchase it please. Thank you
Can I please ask , l bought some 5 ml foam board and I want to paint it with acrylic paint but it does seem rather glossy ,would I be able to lightly sand it , to do you have a better option that would work . Many thanks for your fabulous tutorials . X
I used to decoupage in the early seventies, glad to see it coming back. Can u use modge podge in final coat vs. varnish
you defnitely can on pieces that wont get used as much so for something that's just gonna hang and look pretty you can definitely just mod podge, but for somthing that's gonna be used more I'd recommend varnish
Thank you for your beautiful videos. Could you have used the decorators varnish on top of your project instead of the one you used?
Great tutorial thank you
Thank you for the video...enjoyed it very much!
Comment and question please - after applying the pigment, you wipe off the access. This leaves a thin layer on top of the entire project.

So on thenphone u cant tell what brand u use..what is it??
What kind of little boards do you use to apply napkins and where are they available.
How did you finish the back? This is so beautiful.

definitely! I don't even want to open it most times if it's not in a jar so I'll procrastinate untill I finally get a jar with a screw top :D
@@IvetaZiedina I will have to try it as I've had discoloured bits drop into my paint tin this morning...Great tip x

thank you for sharing great content - where in the uk did you find this small crackling kit please ?
Can you put the materials used in your comments... on your videos? Super nice instructional videos. Thanks.
Very pretty.x🌸
Thank you!
I tried it on a plate it came out beautifully until i used the glossy varnish. the top layer became rough and started pealing. what is it that went wrong
Beautiful work. Where do you find your beautiful napkins?
