Spotlight on : Crackle Glaze Medium

This quick drying water based crackle medium is fab fun and creates an interesting vintage crackle effect when added to a layer of paint. It works well with acrylics, tempera and gouache.  

To use simply  brush the surface with a good coat of crackle medium. Once it is completely dry paint the surface as you like, and the cracks will appear in minutes! 

Great for Decoupage touch ups or to give your MDF project an antiqued finish. Click on the button to see it on the website.

 This month's Creative Challenge is inspired by the lyrics of  Lennon and McCartney's first number one single. 

 "If there's anything that you want/If there's anything I can do

Just call on me and I'll send it along/  With love, from me to you".

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

We have included a beautiful example by one of our talented Design Team ⭐Mona Hauge ⭐.
