I think it's impossible to be a crafter and not love Wendy Vecchi. I know the entire eclectic Paperie E-Team feels that way, which is why we're celebrating one of the Divine Ms. V's brilliant design techniques for our January challenge!Wendy has been doing some really innovative things with glass and metal using Ranger's Matte Glue N' Seal, Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint, and inks. You can see her sweet Faux Crazed Porcelain here, and her gorgeous antiqued glass here. Daisy from eclectic Paperie asked us to try out Wendy's technique, and this blog hop will give you a tour of our results. I used an inexpensive star-shaped glass jar for my piece:
EXTREME CLOSE UP!
I used Ranger Distress Stain in Faded Jeans to colorize the cracks. The sparkly button is from the Ideaology Fanciful Accoutrements set by Tim Holtz.

Girl I love this bottle!! I've been on the hunt for a unique bottle to try this on since I saw it on Wendy's blog. I found one tall skinny bottle but can't talk anyone into using the cocoa coffee flavoring out of it first LOL

Durn I went and bought the Crackle Rock Candy paint today.But I was so excited about the technique-I forgot the Glue n Seal.Don't think they have any in my portion of the swamp so will have to order.I think everyone's creations are fantastic.Thank you for all the wonderful inspiraton.
How cool is that! It totally transforms a piece. What a lovely bottle! Can't wait to find Glue & Seal to try this. Thank you!
What an awesome bottle. I kept looking and looking at it...so pretty.
Love the use of Crackle!
I love the faux porcelain technique with crackle paint, and have used it often, but would NEVER have thought to use it on glass. Creative people ALWAYS amaze me!
I love this technique...so glad you are highlighting it this week!
Love the faded jeans colour to compliment the crackle effect.
I'm catching up on your posts because I've been MIA, too, and WOW - this is gorgeous!! Love it, Linda!!
