This I did the same as above...but sprayed a light mist of the faschange purple and let it dry. Then I sprayed another layer and blotched it and backed with black.

This one I sprayed some shading of black and a few random streaks...then sprayed a heavy layer of red, blotched it and backed it with black.

The Blue/black marble showed good on camera but the contrasting black/blue and the white color change blue pearl doesnt show up well on camera. But I did like the results I got using a sponge for the marble. Thanks again for all the help.

I'm diggin' the bear!

Only problem I see with a sponge is the chance it might leave a chunk behind.

yeah I was worried about that. But I got a painters sponge for painting texture on walls. I think I am going to start experimenting with various stuff to see the different patterns. I did figure out that black isnt a good first color. The black you see in the back ground I did the same thing but I put blue in the backing to show contrast. But the only time you can see the blue is in direct sunlight.

Let it dry. I did it wet on a test piece and it kinda "blended" or melded...

I sprayed the metalic blue then I took my sponge (with the paint still very wet) and dabbed the paint till I can see through it in places but blured in others. This way I knew when I put the black on it would pop through in some places and give shading to others.

I found that you need to dab the Sponge/ Plastic wrap after a small section of paint. Not letting it dry at all.
