Dremel with an artist sponge 

[eglies]

@keychris What type of artist sponge?

 

[keychris]

Something like this: https://www.arttoart.net/mont-marte-foam-brushes

 

Trim to the right shape / size. Insert in Dremel (somehow). Spray mould. Zip the Dremel + sponge in each cavity, leave to set.

 

I saw an Instagram video of someone doing it with a drill as well.

A small foam brush from a art supply/hobby store.  Trimmed to the size of the cavities in your mold.....the ones I use have a handle on them, no Dremel needed.  I just spin the brush in the mold/cavity by hand.   Quick, easy and painless

@keychris Thank you!

 

I use a drill at the moment but was wondering if there was anything easier. I guess a dremel will work too. 

 

@RobertM Thank you! I will check out what sponges we have here.

Bob beat me to mentioning such sponges. Here is a link to sponges available on Amazon (it's U.S. Amazon, but they should be available in other countries as well). This is what was used in Andrey Dubovik's online course: spin one or two colors in a mold, then airbrush another color as background. The effect with a sponge is not as uniform as the Dremel will provide.

I purchase my brushes at Home Depot in the paint dept.

@eglies here is a link to how it is done

Look forward to seeing your final product??!!
