When you say you applied a crackle glaze over the silver, did you put on a crackle medium and then something transparent? Or was it something like Tim Holtz crackle paint? This is a lovely effect which I&amp;#39;d love to try. I&amp;#39;ve done &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; crackle effects, with a base coat, crackle medium, top coat, but I love the clear crackles you&amp;#39;ve achieved here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve just discovered your blog, looking for inspiration for altered boxes.
