If you want a nice dirt effect, nothing beats the real thing! Wack it in a blender, then in the oven for awhile and bobs your dirty uncle!
(also you can mix it with pva/turps and spray and all sorts!) |
I can just imagine the look on the wifes face as I stick a nice big dollop of garden mud in her blender!! She complains when I wash my hands at the kitchen sink!!!
