What is a crackling glaze?
The crackling glaze or varnish is a surface that creates a cracked effect. Many people use cracking glaze for antiques, because peeling, cracked color has an old -fashioned look that goes especially well with renewed furniture. Brackle glaze can be used on a wide range of things, including ceramics, furniture, picture frames and even walls. Many craft stores sell materials for cracking glazing and you can also achieve a few supplies that you probably already have around the house. As soon as this medium dries, another color coat and cracks are applied and the peels begin to appear almost immediately. A clear lacquer or polyurethane seal can be used to seal the cracked glaze. This putty also stops the crack process so that the other layer does not completely throw away.
From the underlying colors, many people try to use coordination colors as they apply a crackling glaze. Contrast colors can also work quite nicely, like darkness under a layer and a lighter exaggerated layer. AfterWhich you are unsure about what the two colors will look like together, try them on small areas of the piece to make sure they look good as soon as they dry. For one of the layers you can also use media such as gold, silver or copper, for a richer look.
If you cannot trace the cracking medium, you can also use white adhesive. The white adhesive acts as a layer of resistance and prevents the second layer of color in full adhesion. This creates a more spotter effect; You can also use wax as a resistance for a crack. If you work with ceramics, use a glaze that has been designed for rupture and carefully monitor the instructions.
The effect of cracking glaze is sometimes called Craqueleure and in order, sometimes used as a tool of works of art and creates their origin. Scriptors spend the lifetime of controlling the art of properly cracked final layer of color in the hope that their works will pass through the art inspectionrye; The dedicated counterfeiter can fulfill the Craqueleure with dust and particles from the old artwork from the right area in case the art inspector decides to chemically analyze the goal.
