need to make a repair on a ceiling with broken leather pattern on ceiling what the easy way to make pattern match or similar
 
Patience can do it but, in reality, you’re going to have a real hard time matching it if you’ve not done it before & it’s a largish area. Stipple can be relatively easy but with all the other patterns, no two interpretations will be the same; it all depends on the style of the original Artexer & you have to replicate how he did it.

Don't know the circumstances but as Artex is only marginally more fashionable than farting at a dinner party these days, you may be better getting it skimmed & end up with a nice flat, modern ceiling. :wink:
 
What a great expression R.C very succinct :lol: You will never match the artex pattern as posted, no two people will create the same pattern ever and broken leather i.e applied with plastic wrapped round a sponge, you have no chance with either re- creating the same mixture ar applying it .Go for re- skim and enjoy the next dinner party.
