Testing, testing, one, two FAIL

I decided to test the next planned step of Dressed to Design before committing to it because everything I read about Crackle Medium convinced me it is difficult to work with and can take a lot of practice to get it right. Not being one who likes to practice alot, I gave it two shots before giving up for the day.

Mixing colours and getting ready to "Crackle"

While waiting for the crackle medium to dry I painted the chicken wire white to see how it might work as a "stamp" on the black background. Didn't give the effect I imagined but it did give a nice "cracked paint" effect, infact it worked better than the crackle medium did. 

Crackle Fail

Oh well, I'll see how I feel next time I break out the craft box and take it from there. In the meantime, I've started on a "patchwork" cat which will feature here when I get around to taking pics and maybe even finishing it.
