Let's Talk a Litte Bit More about Crackles!

 Cornstarch Technique

 I'll tell you about this technique.

I think I did most of it correctly, but I made a couple of mistakes.

I conditioned a small bit of white polymer clay.

I covered the clay with modge podge and then coated the clay with corn starch.

I waited for it to completely dry.

 Then I added paint.

After the paint dried, 

 I ran the piece through the pasta machine,

one time too many.  Although I like the result, I wanted to achieve a larger crackle on the clay.

See what I mean?

The crackle was lost in the pasta machine.

This was by far the easiest crackle effect to make.

I painted a bit of white clay with turquoise paint.

When the paint dried,

I added 

CRACKLE PAINT.

It's available in most hobby stores.

I let the paint dry.

I ran the piece through the pasta machine.

I like the crackles here.

Another Cornstarch Technique

I conditioned my white clay.

I painted the clay with blue paint.

I let it dry.

I added a thick layer of modge podge.

I covered the modge podge with a layer of corn starch.

Of course, I let it dry. 

When dry, you could see the crackles that had formed. 
I ran the clay through the pasta machine.

I ran the clay through the pasta machine.

The crackles are different, but

I like them.
