Tando Creative: Crackle Week- Violin- Fiona Randall

Morning All It's Crackle Week on the Tando Blog this week and here is my contribution.

Last Year I took a fabulous workshop with the Boss Lady Herself Di Oliver at a Tando Retreat. We made a Violin ( not this one ) but I managed to snag an extra one to decorate at some point in a completely different style to the one we created at the retreat. I used some Stamperia Rice Paper that I had in my stash and thought it would be perfect for this project. I then added gold Cracle paste through a stencil to opposite corners and some Tando Diamond thins to the opposing other two corners. All Parts were painted with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics before assembling. Once assembled all edges were inked with an Archival ink pad to define. Finally the violin was strung with some Rusty Wire to complete the project.

Here's a couple of close ups to see all that lovely crackle.
