- On this second day of Advent I am trying different paint aging techniques on a door I need for the Advent project. I am only using simple materials I use regularly and it is fun to see what you can do with them.

You are so right! It is a composition! I’ve never thought of it that way before. I love the idea of testing the color combinations on paper first, too. Thank you for another great video. Looking forward to tomorrow!
You're welcome, Dana. Yes, when you're putting together shapes, colours, materials, sounds etc. you're making a composition. Intentionally or not 😉
I've tried crackling with glues before with varying degrees of success, and as you've stated, the crackling does what it wants as you watch; but using the baby wipes to remove and age paint, was an entirely new technique and appears to offer far more control, so Thank You Josje for adding this valuable information to our collective aging arsenal!
Glue crackling is a fun technique but perhaps a bit too random for some miniature applications. Although they do work, I didn't use baby wipes on this one as they're a bit oily and smooth. I just used paper and some water. It just gives the right amount of resistance to rub off the paint.
@@MakeMiniatures thanks for further clarifying that for me Josje! 👍
Thank you once again. Delightful
You're welcome Linda. Thank you!
Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I've never tried scrubbing dry paint off with a damp cloth - will definitely try it!
Paper has an abrasive quality to it. I find that kitchen towel or toilet paper works very well for this.
So lovely! Can’t wait to see what you have thought of for tomorrow!
Thanks Idske! 😃
This is exactly what I was looking for! Got a miniature kit that I want to add age to, and this should do it!
Perfect! Have fun with it!
Very interesting technique Josje. I can tell I need to be more patient and keep a record! I did have a successful crackle result, accidentally of course, when I applied matte nail polish over acrylic paint when I was finishing a sink for the Swedish house. J
Matte nail polish...I'll have to remember that one! It's great to accidentally stumble on a new technique! Yes, keeping track of experiments is good practice. I must say I am also guilty of not doing that. I always think I'll remember, but of course, I don't...
Love the ageing of the door. But, I thought they were finger plates.
Thank you, Gabriele! They probably are finger plates 😄
❤ wat een geweldige tips geef je … ben er blij mee en het effect met craceleren is leuk hè! Dank je wel
Graag gedaan Marja. Leuk effect hè? Wel wat onvoorspelbaar maar dat is ook wel weer spannend.
I got accidental crackle once. Not sure at what step it happened. I painted acrylic paint on a wooden plaque. then I use ModPodge to decoupage some paper designs on there. Then when that was dry I either painted some more, or put on a clear varnish stuff over the whole thing, it was in a little 1 oz bottle too. And somewhere there was crackle happening. It looked cool so I left it.
These accidental discoveries of techniques are so much fun! Could be either the ModPodge or the varnish reacting with the paint. Or both! You should redo it as an experiment and write down what happens. 😃
@@MakeMiniatures right!! I thought maybe samples on cardstock or something with step by step process written down. Then I could reproduce the outcome desired . Put them in a binder of samples.
@@recoveringsoul755 That's a great idea! And over time it would give you such a fantastic reference book! With these things I always think I'll remember, but I rarely do. Then of course I regret not having written things down.
@@MakeMiniatures yeah, I just need to do it. For example, floors of stir sticks maybe a 4x4 sample plain, stained, various colors, glossy or aged or matte finish, painted etc.tgen you can whip out your decorating book and flip till you find a finish you like.
Plus, it gives you a chance to practice on a smaller scale without possible ruin your project.
Even different kinds of patterns for woodworking. Bricks, stone and so on
Could get inspiration photos too. I have none of it of course of all ideas, not in practice.
Yes. I usually make a sample, or a few samples, when I'm working on a project. Especially for paint finishes, wood stains etc. Paint also dries to a different colour and on different surfaces may appear different. And as you said, inspirational photos... I very often look at the real thing or photos as a reference.
But it's a good idea to keep these all in a book. Even if it's only an idea at the moment, it is good to think about how you could organise it all. Then, when you're working on a project and creating samples, they will be easy to store and categorise.
