Some results from yesterday's (and today's) madness.
I sprinkled embossing powder onto wet crackle paint, waited for it to start to dry and then hit it with my heat gun.
It worked really well for the texture I was trying to achieve--a steampunk background.
I did get some lifting, but I noticed
some of that happening on areas that I didn't heat. Very likely that
the lifting was caused by the many layers of gelatos, tissue, gesso, oil pastels, ink, etc. caused the flakiness.
To keep the texture and stop the paint from actually flaking off I'm going to put a coat of mod-podge over it.
That should be nice and messy!

Sorry about the word verification--my blog was hijacked not too long ago, so now I have to take robo-cautions.
