Many years ago I lived in a house that had mud swirl patterns
used as the finish texture on the ceilings of the various rooms.
Each of the 3 bedrooms had a different pattern and I think the
living area had yet another pattern.
In our current house I am preparing to retexture the ceilings
and I would like very much to implement the mud swirl patterns
similar to the previous house.
Can anyone give me a reference where I can find different
styles/patterns I can use? I have found one reference on the
web that offers to teach (for a fee) the mud swirl technique
but the person has never responded to my email.
Suggestions would be most welcome!

Get some cheap plywood or broken sheets of drywall to practice on.
That's the web reference I have seen and my email to Mike has never
been answered.
I understand about using a thin coat of mud and the need to practice
on plywood.
What I'm looking for is pictures of different patterns (since I'm not
very artisitic) beyond the "scallops" that are on the above web page.
Our previous master bedroom had what I would call a "sunburst" pattern
that was centered on the overhead light. I'd like to find examples of
something like that and other styles.
Thanks for the notes so far.

I guess you've seen this.
