Here is a fabulous tool for creating pattern and design in your decorative finishes! For additional information on working with the rollers, please check out my blog post: http://studiojrenee.com/2014/08/24/pattern-rollers-another-obsession/

These decorative pattern rollers are so much fun to work with - you can roll through just about any material and shown in the video.

Simplicity Roller

Here is the finished sample from the Video - I used a tinted Metallic Plaster and troweled a sheer layer over the pattern that was created with the Simplicity roller.

Crocodile and Artsy Leaf rollers

They can be used on many different surfaces as seen in the photo above - creating furniture and cabinetry finishes - Crocodile Pattern roller and Artsy Leaf roller were used.

Would this work with paint? What I mean is, if you paint the wall one color and then use another color paint with this roller?

What was the process to use the artsy leaf roller and have it turn out like the tan/ cream leafy picture on your website? It states that you used multiple textures. Thank you!

Just one. Shipping cost seems way out of line for the size and weight of the roller.

  If the shipping comes in lower - we adjust before charging our customers - but most boxes are over 1 pound and run $12 to $13 for postage alone, we still need to cover the box, tape, label, etc. - you can see about ordering through my account on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=artistic+painting+studio" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=s...

With certain designs on the rollers, do you ever have to line up your design with the previous row so they match up?

  Sharon - sorry for my delay, just saw your message. Some of the designs have to be lined up to match, but most do not......I don't even try! :)
