Welcome to Silent Hill
Ever since I saw Silent Hill, I wanted to replicate the city welcome sign shown in the movie. I liked the neglected appearance of the sign; how the paint was aged and cracked and how falling ash from the burning underground coal had settled on it over the years.
In order to achieve part of this cracked look I needed to use a crackle glaze. For my first time experimenting with this it was pretty easy to work with. I found out quickly that when working with this stuff, speed is your friend. The glaze has to be painted over very quickly with paint or you can botch the whole thing. When painting over the glaze the cracks appear before your eyes, but don't try to brush back over an area you did already or you'll destroy the cracked look. Smaller or bigger cracks can be made depending on how much glaze and paint you apply.

Here's a close up area of the crackling.

Witch's Brew
The ancient words have been heeded
Each witch has brought what was needed
Rare herbs, odd bits, and potions too.
All the fixins for this noxious brew.
