I've had a chipboard wall plaque and some unused crackle glaze for a long, long time and so decided it was time to try to create something with them. Here is what I made:
Chipboard plaque: first coated with gesso, then modelling paste applied through a Kaisercraft stencil called 'Damask'. Painted with pale grey acrylic paint, then Inka Gold 'Rose Quartz' wax added to bring out the relief of the design.
'Home' word: This chipboard piece was a gift from a friend in a swap - her clever husband cuts the pieces himself. It was painted white, crackle glaze applied, then, when that was dry, lush pink paint applied on top which cracked to give this finish. Since this was the first time I've used crackle glaze, I was quite pleased with the result :) The word's edges were inked in Ranger jet black archival ink.
