All Crackled Up


These three dolls are teaching me techniques for crackling.  I used One Step Crackle and Gail Wilson's antiquing medium on all three.

  1. The weather must be just right for crackling because it looks perfect...pretty dolls, too!

  2. They are wonderful. It's too humid here in Maine right now to crackle. :-) I don't crackle much these-a days.

  3. Elaine, I love the look of the crackle and the juxtaposition of the dolls fine delicate features. I'll follow to see their dresses! Super work!

  4. I have been wanting to try antiquing for a long while, and your beautiful dolls have inspired me to have a go. Are you going to age the fabrics also? I had great fun this year soaking both the fabric for the doll body and clothes in a bath of tea to make them look old.

  5. Thanks for noticing my dolls, everyone! Lizzie - You should try it! It's very rewarding. Just don't do it on a doll that you're very attached to because it might not turn out exactly as you planned. I haven't done much fabric aging yet. I need to give that a try too! So much to learn!
