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!

These tools show a texture pattern example beside each one. Just for
ideas.

Many years ago I watched my brother do couple ceilings with heavy
texture. In the center of one room he did a wagon wheel, the center
hub centered at the light fixture...spokes coming out to the edge of
the wheel. He used a string from the outlet center to get his circle.

I guess one is limited by imagination and ideas.
