Controlled Crackle on Polymer Clay and A Bead!

Welcome to my channel, studio and this little tutorial on creating controlled crackle on polymer clay with acrylic paint. Let me tell you, acrylic paint on clay is something I have avoided like that old plague for decades. I just kept putting it off until tomorrow...tomorrow...30 years later, tomorrow came.

I hope you enjoy the process, it really is fun, if a bit messy the way I do it. Feel free to replace fingers with brushes, too.

Enjoy! This tute is all about the technique but I did include a "snakeskin" bead!

Cheers, D
