The splattering technique took a bit of effort -- a few squeezes of brown paint, finding a good dry bristled brush, rotating the beads to ensure an even (yet random) covering. My fingers were slick with paint and a bit raw from raking over the brush bristles by the end. And, it was a little challenge to contain the splatters.
Once finished, I went to eat breakfast.
