Awesome....I'll put THAT one in my trick bag

Sand sucks!

It is crazy, but way easier to push around than sand. I suppose because it is lighter. Mixes in the paint easy, too. And tastes great! Haven't really tried tasting it on purpose.

You could almost match it up with about 1/8" mud and a course brush about 4" wide. Looks pretty amateur (ish) to me.

practice on a scrap piece of board, had to match a ceiling once, after some thought and some practice I got real close to what was on top

The self rising kind works great on the ceiling.

Have had to do it a few times... In the '60s and '70s people seemed to want to make it look like a plaster stucco or something. Not real sure.
Good luck. Not an easy texture to match, but doable.

I have done alot of coin swirl, but never "corn" swirl .

Good tip with the corn meal, Bill

I think the texture would look much better if it was painted with flat paint. It is too glossy so give away all the imperfections.
