Hello Friends! This weeks was a crazy week. My husband and I both got memberships to our local gym. Yeah Me!!! Getting fit is yet another item on my list for 2012. So it has been challenging getting a new routine in order. Getting daughter to school, workout, clean house, pick up daughter, after-school fun and trying to fit in my artwork in there somewhere. I was also a little under the weather, but somehow I managed to fit it all in.
(It's also In the Studio Friday - check out other creative blogs here)
This weeks Challenge was very cool - it is making a crackle effect on a object using Elmer's glue. I am very happy with how this worked and I am excited to also try this on wood.

| I cut out this dress from card stock to use in a mixed media project. You could use any surface - I am looking forward to trying this as a background on a canvas or wood. |

Here is to another wonderful week! Hugs and Love, Dayleanne XOXO
Neat effect ~ I have an idea where I might use it, thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Mary!
DeleteThat's so cool! Did you add the paint while the glue was still wet?
ReplyDeleteYes! :-) you add it directly on top of the wet glue! Super neat

I have always heard how glue can be used for crackling...experiments, experiments! I have a loooong list!
ReplyDeleteIt always takes me a while to get into a routine when I add something new. :) I did not know you could use glue like that to crackle! How neat!
