Thanks for the tips, I am using a Babycakes Cake Pop maker, but this advice is great for decorating the cake pops, I have not yet tried to make cake pops in my maker, I have been making other goodies though, like brownies and cornbread, etc. I found you via the Dwell on Joy Link Party.
About a week ago I picked up my violin and got ready to start practicing. Right away I noticed that the open E string sounded horrible. It sounded a little unstable. The tone was shifting slightly and, worst of all, it would make crackling noises now and then. Thats the best I can describe it, sounds very similar to the sound you'd get if your fine tuner screw is too lose and bounces with the vibrations, or if you don't use the plastic sleeve on the E string and it becomes loose and rattles around. It sounded so annoying I decided not to practice and wait until the next day since I had a lesson scheduled with my teacher. (the violin sounded just fine the day before)
I am just a beginner, and have a beginner's instrument - Scott Cao STV 750. I was very pleased with it from the day I bought it up until last week. Im still playing with it, the crackling noise only happens sometimes, at random, and its only really annoying on an open E, but would like to know what may be causing it. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? was it weather? did it go away on its own? if I had to guess, I'd probably say I need to change the plastic tailpiece to a wooden one with only one fine tuner, I think I can handle tuning at the pegs now. But even if it is the tail piece, Im guessing it's not normal for it to be ok one day and then not ok the next. hope I don't have to get it repaired, I can't afford to pay for repairs -or- a tail piece right now.
I did as you advised and shined a light trough the F hole in a dark room, didn't see any light leaks. I kept examining the inside as best I could trough the F hole, and I did notice the maker's label was peeling off from one corner and was lifted a bit, thats the only thing I noticed out of place. Not sure if that would cause rattling or give off unwanted sound.
If you decide to add thunder to your rainstorm, decide who will be the Thunder Master, the maker of thunder. We suggest you let this person experiment before class so that they can create a great thunder sound for your rainstorm.

You see, way back in 2013, I created a Book of Backgrounds page using one-step crackle which is a clear crackle medium, the cracks were so large that trying to figure out what to paint on this just frustrated me.
But in this project a few years later, DecoArt developed a crackle paint which was paintable. In this experiment, I wanted to manipulate the crack sizes in crackle paint over a text printed background, colours with a deep orange for contrast.

out of the recipe first. Then if that doesn't help ...your recipe is about 50/50 wheat/rye, try no extra gluten and kicking up the rye % until you get what you want. That crackling is typical for rye breads but with all the wheat gluten in there, the surface is not breaking down and shining crackling through. You may need a weaker gluten matrix.
Did I read the use of a floured cloth lined basket or banneton for the final proof? Drying that surface a bit in the cloth during the final proof will give the loaf a skin that may tear or crackle for you. Be generous with the flour dusting if the dough is over 80% hydration. (Sorry, I didn't do the figuring.) You can brush off the flour later.
I'm not sure if you are perhaps describing crackles in a wheat bread surface instead of a rye. Rye crackles are not squares but odd shapes torn at the edges looking more like roots or veins. Wheat crackles do sing as they cool and can be squarish. Memories can play some silly games in our minds. If you are after wheat crackles, then perhaps only dropping the % of rye flour would help and not use rye altus. (But I love rye altus!) Up to you to play around. If you find a picture of what you're looking for, please post it.
the suggestion: perhaps you could defeat the problem with your oven fan by getting a Dutch Oven. This would mean you would not need a steam pan (the water in the dough creates its own steamy environment as long as the cover is on) and, when you uncover the bread, the fan action might actually help create the crackle you are looking for.
Tho, tbh, I didn't post my bake for kudos but rather because, in truth, your formula is quite similar ... except that you add IDY and altus (and sometimes gluten) and use white rye. Perhaps you might find it useful to try a different version -- if not Ilya's then Greenstein's sour rye or Hammelman's 40% rye -- and compare the results with your own approach. A mash-up of techniques might lead you to creative ideas regarding how to pursue the Nirvana of a lofty rise, an open crumb, and an appropriately crackly crust.
I like combining rye with spelt. Spelt does need extra time to hydrate (when comparing it to regular wheat) no matter how it is used in any recipe. Spelt can make up part of the wheat blend where it can boost wheat properties which I think you are after with the crackly or crazed crust.
It might be to your benefit to try a rye/wheat mixture of flour that is low in rye, say 10%, and if it crackles move up to 15% rye and see if that crackles. Increase the rye in each bake until you hit the crackle limit or where cracks don't show up. Cornstarch glaze only half the surface on the loaves, brush the other half with water to keep the proofing dough from drying out.
I have been making Jewish Sour Rye for years. Everything about the product made with my recipe derived from George Greenstein's is the way I like it, except that I have never been able to achieve the thin, crackly crust that I think is typical. I've tried lots of tweaks but have concluded there is something about the commercial wood or coal-fired ovens that cannot be duplicated in a home oven.
Now, you are likely to not get those crackles across the top of the loaf, but if you decide to go this route, then you'll also want to apply a cornstarch brushing to the top of the loaves. And what I found to be quite important for me - to score the dough with a serrated bread knife when shaped this way.
Finally some fresh air in the EDA market: a modern interface with some really pro capabilities and no serious limitations. This is the tool any electronics maker was waiting for and it is community focused.
Routing capabilities are robust in Circuitmaker. The interactive routing modes include obstacle avoidance, hug, hug-n-push, and obstacle ignore. The push modes will push other traces and vias, as well as hop-over. You can even route differential pairs and interactively add accordions to nets that need that extra length for signal delays.
After the second layer of wax has hardened and cooled, you can begin to work on the crackle effect. Have students bend and fold the fabric to cause the wax to crack and break. This will allow the black dye to penetrate the wax seal in those specific, cracked areas.
For more precision, simply have students use a brush to paint or dab the black dye over the cracks. This takes longer but allows a greater measure of control over the amount and placement of the black dye and the crackle effect.
Born in Kitaoji-cho, Kamigamo in Kyoto in 1883 (Meiji 16). Rosanjin's birth was a result of his mother having an affair and his father, disgusted by this, committed seppuku suicide 4 months before Rosanjin was born. He had a poverty-stricken childhood and was put into foster care as soon as he was born, being passed on to various loveless adoptive households where he suffered abuse until he settled into the Fukuda household at age 6. One day, while running an errand for the place where he worked, he saw the sign for a restaurant in town called 'Kamemasa' on a paper lantern. The sign bore a picture of a tortoise and some letters drawn in a single brush stroke without the brush leaving the paper, and it captivated him, heightening his curiosity towards art. The man who drew this sign was Takeuchi Seiho, the eldest son of Kamemasa's owner who would go onto become the leading figure of Kyoto's circle of artists that dominated the Teiten and Bunten exhibitions.
In 1905 (Meiji 38), he became a private apprentice to calligraphy artist Okamoto Katei (grandfather of Western style painter, Okamoto Taro) and lived with him for three years. There, he was given the name Fukuda Kaitsu, and over time he gradually began to receive more orders for his work than Katei. In 1907, he became independent from Katei as Fukuda Ōtei. His work prospered and he spent his earnings on calligraphy tools, antiques and dining away from home.
On December, 1910, he traveled to Korea and lived there for three years, working as a clerk in the Printing Bureau of Korea's Administrative Agency. After staying in Seoul for just under a year, he headed towards Shanghai, where he met Wu Changshuo, who was well-known for being the best in the generation in calligraphy, art and seal engraving.
He returned to Japan in the summer of 1912. Half a year later, he was invited as a dining guest by the wealthy Koji Toyokichi of Nagahama and was proposed a place where he can devote himself to calligraphy and seal engraving. Now under the name Fukuda Taikan, he left in Nagahama various masterpieces such as ceiling paintings in small pavilions, paintings on fusuma sliding doors and name engravings.
Then, his wish to become the dining guest for the Shibata household which was frequently visited by Takeuchi Seiho, who he admired and respected, was granted and he requested to make a name engraving for Seiho. Seiho took a liking to his engraving and introduced him to people under his tutelage such as Tsuchida Bakusen, making him increasingly well-known as he became acquainted with the masters of Japan's circle of artists.
In 1917 (Taisho 6), he became acquainted with Benrido's Nakamura Takeshiro and the two became good friends, afterwards running the antique store Taigado together. Taigado then began to serve regular visitors food made from high-quality ingredients served in the antique pottery in the store, and a diner made especially for those with a membership called 'Bishoku Kurabu' was started in 1921 (Taisho 10). Rosanjin himself stood in the kitchen and cooked, and also made the works of pottery used in serving the food. On March 20th, 1925 (Taisho 14), Rosanjin, along with Nakamura, borrowed 'Hoshigaoka-saryo restaurant' in Nagatacho, Tokyo and started a high-quality restaurant open only to those with a membership, with Nakamura as the owner and Rosajin as an advisor.
In 1927 (Showa 2), he invited people ranging from potter Miyanaga Tozan and Arakawa Toyozo to Yamasaki, Kamakura and established a place to research ceramics, Seikoyo, and began working on pottery in earnest.
After the war, he was economically impoverished and lived a life of adversity, but in 1946 (Showa 21), he opened a direct sales store for his own work in Ginza called 'Kadokadobibo' and gained positive feedback, even from Western people staying in Japan as well. In 1954 (Showa 29), under the invitation from the Rockefeller Foundation, he held exhibitions and lectures in various areas in the West, and also visited Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall. In 1955 (Showa 30), his Oribe ware designated him as a Preserver of Important Intangible Cultural Properties (Living National Treasure), but he refused this title.
He passed away at Yokohama City University Hospital due to liver cirrhosis in 1959 (Showa 34).
