This month Lynn is working on wood and
papier maché
This instruction sheet will give details on using crackle
mediums and applying serviettes, decoupage, to items.
Materials required:
Jo Sonja’s All Purpose Sealer (APS)
Background Paint Colour, Jo Sonja’s Décor Crackle
Jo Sonja's Crackle Medium
Serviettes Sponges / soft brush
Start by preparing the background colour for the wood. You can buy the
background colours ready mixed or you can make your own colour using the
white as your base and adding small amounts of the artist colours to achieve
the desired effect.
Mix the paint with APS approx ratio 2:1 and apply to the wood. The APS
helps give a better cover to the wood without soaking too far into it. You can
apply the paint with either a sponge or a brush, as is your choice. Leave to
dry or gently use a hairdryer.
