enameled stringers (enamel over ivory, then pulled into stringer) applied to ivory and opaque gray (probably works with other colors, but this I know) will web and crackle very nicely as well and you can go nuts with all the colors available in the enamels
Thanks! I'm going to have to try the enameled stringers one day. I have some "dark ivory" I haven't touched yet, and some opaque gray- didn't know that about opaque gray. I use CIM Hades as a cheap substitute for intense black.
