Today--leaving--for my final show of the season--so happy!! I think it was getting to me more this year because this past year is the first time I've been blogging and being active with other online art activities, and I've missed it alot!!
But before I left I just wanted to squeeze in a few more pieces--completely unrelated to Christmas. I've been pretty much focusing on Christmas since the end of September, and I just wanted to play around a little. So thanks to K & Co., Tim Holtz, and Ranger--I did. Just had some fun--
I used the Ranger Distress Crackle Paint around the edges, and the more I use it, the more I love it. It comes in all of the distress ink colors, and it ALWAYS works!
See all of the tiny cracks it makes--I love that!
On these, I used the weathered wood and scattered straw crackle paints, and then put a burnt umber wash over it when it was dry (that's when the cracks magically appear) and like all crackle when you wipe off the burnt umber, it stays in the cracks.

These are great. Thanks so much for talking about the crackle paints. I have had very bad luck with them..or rather, mixed luck. I will look up Ranger. Hope your last show of the season is a good one!
Love these...the colors, the patterns..all of it!

heehee... my verification word is "rasynat"! What a funny word!
Seriously Diane, it's so fun to see your creations! Beautiful! Wishing you much success at the show, you deserve it!!!

Oh my, you are so creative! all these pieces look wonderful together, they are nice and cohesive. I love the crackle paints too, haven't used them that much though. I like your idea of putting paint over top. I thought because they were already colored, you weren't supposed to, but I think I will try that next time.
Good luck at your craft show!
xoxo
betty
Wow! You certainly did have fun! I have crackle issues:) but will keep trying with the Distress Paints.
Good luck at your show!!
Nice post, i follow your blog!!!
These are wonderful! Love them!
These pieces are great...I wish I could see them in person. I want to touch them. Love the clocks on the flowers.
These are just fantastic!!! I love them. I am going to have to do some crackle! I have always been a little afraid of it. I don't know why?
Diane wow, beautiful!! You're doing great and really enjoying it all, very happy for you. What a collection you've got and I love the colours.
I haven't been in touch for some time and haven't been painting very much.I am pregnant and have been tired, but hopefully will start feeling more energy now I'm at the end of third month...all the best Diane xx
I can understand the joy of having a final show of the year, then being finished for the year. It must feel good.
I'm glad you like the distress crackle. I simply hate it. I've never been able to get it to work right. And it's supposed to be so easy to use, too!
