Hi,

I hope this time my message will post! Last time it had some sort of error.

I like to do a marbled Venetian Plaster that resembles Scagliola. I developed a method to do it fairly easily after much trial and error. You can see some examples on my website at www.TravertineDesignStudio.com.

The photos with the 4 columns next to each other, and the three columns below it are examples of a marbled effect that is done only with troweling. This makes the marbled look relatively quick to accomplish. I did the column that is behind the chair with a painted method. That was very tedious and time-consuming to complete, which is why I wanted to find a better way to accomplish a marbled look.

I've been asked to teach my method, so I'm planning to start classes in February. If anyone is interested, please contact me at TravertineDesignStudio@gmail.com .

I live in southeast Texas.

Thanks!

Theresa
