Hi,
I have used sheet rock compound, applied with a sponge to create stone-like
textures. Then it could be spray painted a base color, then 'color flecked'
with the sponge dipped into two or more colors at once.

I'm using something called Ultra Mache from Sax that is shredded paper
with, I think, powdered glue (like Ross Art Paste). Anyway, it is grey,
textured and flecked. It looks a lot like stone. You might try that to
cover your sculptures.

fifth grade students). We want to finish them with a textured paint so
thaey look as though they're made of stone. I tried adding sand to tempera
paint and painted a demo piece. It's cracking slightly in places, but my
bigger concern is that as it's handled, the sand seems to be rubbing off.
Can I seal them with something or use something else entirely?
