Annie Sloan’s unique Craqueleur is a two-part application that gives an authentic cracked varnish finish ⎯ just like on an Old Master! Step 1 is the base. With Step 2 you can control the size of the cracks ⎯ the thinner you apply it, the smaller the cracks. If you like, you can then highlight the cracks with Annie Sloan Dark Wax or Black Wax.
Each jar is 125 ml.

Graphite lamp
The base was first painted in Graphite Chalk Paint® all over. Once the paint had dried Step One of Craqueleur was applied and left to dry. Then, Step Two of the Craqueleur was applied quite thickly to create larger cracks in the paintwork. This was then heated with a hairdryer, and once dry White Chalk Paint® Wax was applied all over. A lint free cloth was then used to wipe away the excess wax, leaving just the right amount of desired wax into the cracks. Lamp shade made from Linen Union in Graphite + Old White. Provence and French Linen lamp Like the Graphite Lamp Base, this base was first painted with Chalk Paint® in Provence and French Linen. Once dry, Craqueleur Step One and then Step Two was applied all over, with the Step Two heated with a hairdryer.
