Purchased what I thought was a nice embossed stone paper for the embankment walls but think I will have to do it again because the printing is very repetitive and I don't think it looks right. Interested in any opinions from you chaps.

Think I agree with you Sandy.

Agreed, the pattern repeat size is too small and regular.

I am experimenting with some colour pencils. The surface is embossed I have found I can darken the lighter bits down. If it works this will save me some work redoing it all. Hoping the result will make it look more even and more smokey In for a penny in for a pound.

Thats better I think it looks more like dirty granite now hope you agree. Just a bit of touching up to do.

By Jove, I think he's got it!

Looks much better Sandy.

Thanks for that Steve. I felt right fed up when I saw the result of the paper when it first went up. Coloured pencils are so useful sometimes.

Amazing what a bit of "colouring in" can do
Well done Sandy!

That has completely changed it Sandy, well done.

I think it looks absolutely fine - but just a suggestion - would a heavily diluted black-wash darken it slightly?
