RE: [papercreters] Re: I just had to do a picture

Hi Ernie,
Home Depot, 3 yrs ago.. for I think it was under 10.00 but was on sale...
hard plastic. it is supposed to be used on a sidewalk.. But I liked the idea
for my floor. I'm not pushing it down very far only about 1/2 inch deep...

Thanks for the painting tech... I'm saving it.. knew about the sounge.. not
the feather...

Did that help? you sure helped me!

Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it
holds the universe together.

Nice pattern! Where did you get it and how much did it run you, if I
may ask? Is it a hard plastic press in or a rubber mat roll on?

For marble patterns you can get the variable "line" effects on it
through a trick I read about long ago. Take a long bird feather and dip
one edge of it lightly into the paint. Hold it by the quill and pull it
toward you, rolling the quill back and forth just a tiny bit as you
pull. This will get the "vein" effect alot easier than alot of
techniques you see out there. Most of the rest of it can be sponged.
