I agree about not wanting perfectly smooth & straight. If you do,
there's always rubylith masking on the negative, or like that...but then
you might as well overmat. I want uneven, with the seeming *tactility*
which comes from a bit of puddling at the mask -- the trick is just enough
without overdoing.
