I can't answer your question but maybe I can give you a helpful lead to the answer. I have seen this type of faux finish done on the TV show "Trading Spaces" by Hildy. I am also looking for the how-to on the tortoise shell finish. Good luck! Tortoise shell finishes are beautiful and affective. Go to Barnes and Noble. They have an abunance of books on faux finishing. It isn't the easiest task but if you're up for it you'll be so proud of yourself. Just remember patience is a big factor. There are drying times you have to abide by (otherwise your project could be ruined). As you're working on your project, if you feel like you're losing it, walk away for awhile...have a cup of joe. When you come back to it, you'll have, what we in the industry call, "new eyes". Good luck and have fun!
