Hello

I have spot and dabbed almost a whole house now and overboarded the ceilings also

I am not confident enough to skim the ceilings and the stairwell is too high for anybody except spiderman I reckon :-)

The ceilings are not fantastic anyway as I am only a beginner so they are not as flat as I would have liked

I have decided on artex for all ceilings and would like a slightly thicker design to hide my errors

I like a design I think is called 'leather' I may be wrong, but it is a random swirly type of design.

What do I need to create this and also is there any where I can get more info on artex in general

Thanks

Julian
