    I spent 20 years creating an interior home wall finish that like this process you could not tell what it looked like until 2 days after the process. It changed looks as it dried. I always wanted to Time Lapse the drying but I never found a camera 30 years ago that would allow me to do that. Love seeing things as they develop and especially those things that are out of your control. Thank you for sharing, this beautiful art work.
