Push with the feather
I have done this faux finish on \"full-scale\" items, but could not fathom a feather small enough to do it in mini. The hardes part is to \"push\" the feather as opposed to \"pulling\" a paint brush. The feather has to be fairly stiff so that when you push it, it does not turn into a wide brush.
Crow & turkey feathers are used \"full-scale\". Any ideas on what feather to use?

about marble.....
hey samurai gal... that was a very useful article on creating that nice green marble..... thanks fur postin it....
I\'ve only had some success painting the kinda sculptured marble.....you see on big statues in cathedrals....
see the thing about most of them is.... marble shadows arent really grey....not even very white marble... they are either a funny grey beige or kinda pink... but not solid pink..... sorta funny beige pink......
sooooo depending on what kinda marble you want, mix up a beigy-grey or beigy-pink and use that as the area thats to be deeply shadowed..... the next tone up is a whitish.... almost parchment-like er.... yellow beige....... mix and match paints to achieve effect.....
the final top tone... or highlights is basically a clear, yellow-white or ivory..... when done correctly, you should get something that looks like statue-marble....
hope it helps.
