keeping on


I hope to finish these two lovlies in the next day or so. I meant to make Rose of Sharon but printed out the other one instead and so it was meant to be that I do both. I have a diamond printed out but since it is machine pieced, and I have not had a chance to it at the machine, it has not been sewn yet.
I have put the crackling medium on the drawers, from the previous post, and not it will dry for at least an hour before I paint on the top coat. I will keep my fingers crossed that the crackle happens. I have had crackle failure in the past. I will aim a heat gun at it and see if that does not help. I am using Behr medium, which is supposed to be reliable but as I said... I think it has to do with the environmental and planetary alignment as well.
