      I "discovered" a crackle effect once when I painted some wooden hall passes for my sister for her classroom a few years ago. I put some glossy mod podge over the paint to "protect" it and give it a bit of shine, but noticed a few hours later that the paint was all crackled. Not an effect I was intending, but it looked ok so I left it like that and thought it was pretty cool, actually.

    My favorites are the middle one with few crackles and the one on the right in the taupe color. Years ago I rescued a damp antique picture frame from the basement of a home I was working an estate sale. I was planning on drying it out and practicing my crackle technique. This was about 25 years ago. The technique was 5 or 6 steps. Quite laborious. I did a gold base with a black top coat and gold accents. I was happy so I set it out by the trash. I had friends over and one came in thrilled at the frame someone had left by my trash cans. I told her I threw it out etc. She told me I was crazy, it was gorgeous. I said I’d keep it and figure out something to put in it. I took it to the glass and mirror shop and had them put a beveled mirror in it. It’s gorgeous to this day hanging in my living room and I still get compliments. My furniture is tan and black so it’s a lovely addition. I thank my friend to this day for retrieving it and showing me the error of my ways.

I had no idea that glue could crackle acrylic paint. I love how all of yours turned out. They are so different.

    This is just great, Nina. I can't really choose a favourite! Regarding blocked spray bottles, I had a Seth Apter Goldmine spray bottle that got blocked, and I complained to the supplier and they sent me another one. I was using the original one for spattering, using the tube in the bottle. Then the second bottle got blocked too! I was scrupulous with cleaning the nozzle after every single use, flushing it through with water, but to no avail... What I do now is to decant a small amount of the spray using a pipette, into a mini-mister, and use that. There isn't usually any left as the mini-mister doesn't hold much, but I can tip any residue back into the original bottle. Metallic sprays are notorious for blocking spray nozzles unfortunately.

    Hi Nina, re: the Nuvo mica mist, you should be able to transfer the ink into another spray bottle and add a ball to help mix the mica. Not what you should have to do, but at least you'll be able to use it. Looks like a gorgeous colour.

    I find when using PVA glue for crackles, let it sit for a few minutes to get a bit tacky first. Then apply the top layer carefully to not disturb the glue. I've had some fantastic cracks with this method.

Put on the thinking cap and surprise us. I had a lovely find today, was clearing some boxes and found very antique post cards from 1911 of florence , totally forgotten I had those, so was delighted as you can imagine.

Glad you had a good find today, It’s wonderful when we come across forgotten items to inspire us.

Have a lovely Sunday and fabulous week. Love and hugs 💕 xxx

    I have found that even the clear crackle gel medium can be tricky. Even though the directions state for each layer to dry before applying the next layer I have found that the crackle forms best when the gel is semi dry while layering the second color down. But, this doesn’t apply with ever crackle gel - honestly if I really want the crackle effect I will you use the white paste and if I want a different color I’ll just add color to the crackle paste before applying it.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia

    I'm sure someone has already said this, but just in case, the size of the cracks depends on how thick you apply the crackle paste. The thicker the layer, the bigger the cracks and vice versa.😃

      Yes, absolutely, although if you are using the deco art paste I would recommend something much more substantial or it will curl 💕

    I want to do a wall! The medium is very pricey. Was hoping for a better result from the glue.

    i bought some antique doors that were done with white background over hunter green, crackled. Id like to change color to turquoise. Can I change the green color? maybe even the white background ... lol

    Have you tried distress micro glaze over distress inks? It is meant to lock in the distress colors so they don’t reactivate. That way they wouldn’t rub off.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia

      Hi Linda, I do have some micro glaze, but you can’t add anything on top of it, so it’s only any good as a finishing layer. Thanks for suggesting it though ❤️

    Trying to figure out a crackel method with oil to make a dog nose type texture on a life size statue I'm doing of a basset hound

      I got a good texture with my lighter + more layers of a enamel base . But I've lost it in layers.. Can't seem to recreate it. So looking for more methods .

    I've been using the Elmer's glue technique but it s not really cackle to more like wood. What's be best to get actual crackles not lines

      Try using a heat gun or hair dryer. It’ll make the glue crackle more. Just be sure you don’t get too close to your project with the heat source cause it’ll melt the glue instead of dry it.

    These are gorgeous Nina💕 Several years ago it was fashionable to have crackle glazed fingernails - remember it? Well - the hoarder in me has dug out said crackle finish nail polish so I’m hoping to get some results with that! Dee 😘

      This is one trend I can’t remember, but I never had any nails as a teenager as I played the violin and had to keep mine short. I look forward to seeing what results you get. Enjoy your trip down Memory Lane 💕😘

    I usually love blues and turquoise but this time my favourites are the grey ones. Love the effects and would love to see more play with distress oxide sprays and crackling. :-)

      Thanks Sushan. I wish I had recorded it, as the results were fascinating. It was just an afterthought as I would otherwise have binned it! 💕

    Hi Nina, just found your channel and have subscribed as it's full of very interesting and informative videos. Just on the crackle, I tried the PVA glue crackle technique on a canvas painting as I wanted some crackle effects - used a base layer of dry dark acrylic paint with PVA on top then a layer of lighter acrylic paint. When dry I got lovely crackle effects, yippee I thought! Left it for over 24 hours to fully dry out but when I glazed over the crackle with more paint the crackle lifted and peeled off. Disaster. Wondered if it's really not designed for layering over with more wet paint layers? In which case, I don't know how you managed the glazing and rubbing you used in your video? Or maybe the shop bought crackle mediums create a harder film than the PVA glue technique. Any advice or hints would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    • @NinaRibenaMixedMedia

      Hi Rachel, that is very strange. I have never experienced mine peeling off. I wonder if it would help if you applied a coat of gesso to your canvas first so that the glue has something to grip to?

    • @rachelsmith7462
      @rachelsmith7462 2 года назад

      @@NinaRibenaMixedMedia good idea. I also think it might have been due to using PVA Bond rather than PVA glue and maybe it is a bit too strong/thick. Don't know! Hope it doesn't happen again. Thanks anyway.
