I've always loved the finish of Raku Pottery, the distressed soot and crackle effects I found couple of resin Rabbits a decided to recreate the effect.

Apply a coat of Media Gesso.

Apply coat of Titanium White Media Fluid Acrylic.

Once dry I started testing colours, I wanted to create a soft duck egg and rust effect.

I settled on Prussian Blue and Burnt Umber Placing small blobs onto a glass mat and watering down.

Applying a variety of neat product and diluted.

Darker in crevices and adding water to dilute and drip.

Allow to dry and add more drips until the desired effect is achieved.

Apply Media Crackle Glaze to some areas thicker to form larger cracks and thinner for smaller cracks.

Because my substrate was plastic resin some small areas peeled back, so once dry I applied a coat of Media Satin Varnish to seal.

Watching the hares crackling up!

I love seeing this effect as it's totally random but a beautiful effect.

Once dry I started working in some Media Carbon Black Antiquing Cream.

Rub back with a soft cloth to expose the defined crackle effect.

The Media Crackle Glaze gives a gloss finish, so to soften slightly I applied a coat of Media Satin Varnish as it still gives a glazed appearance.
