"We Put The Trick, In The Trompe Of Trompe L'Oeil"
Make it Fossil Rock
The firepalce above was transformed into a
unique focal point to a beautiful living room.
The Following is a STEP BY STEP process of our
Fossil Rock technique, that helped create this center of attention.

Sometimes there is no substitute for a client with taste.
After appling your ...leaves, moss, shells, etc in the joint compound
you need to wait till the mud is ALMOST completly dry before you remove your
fossil material. You don't want any give in the compound while you are pulling
your leaves, etc out. There is no way to give a exact time.
After removing your material allow the compound to dry overnight and then
lightly sand, prime and paint with either a final coat of paint or a basecoat
for a faux or glaze/stain finish. (If need be you can wait over night or longer
to remove your leaves, it will just be a little more difficult.)
