yes it was me, i admit it, im a chancer, my wisk is called frank cos he used to be part wisk, part bedside lamp. I fixed him though with my wisk surgery skills and a tin of power spray. i use old wine making buckets that proper spreads have used for sh'tting in and my northern accent has a south african twang that sounds like a record played backwards. my name is really joshua and i used to be a venture capitalist in zimbabwe up until yesterday. then the credit crunch hit the congo and i was forced to sell my stash of everlasting bananas and stick an advert in the local paper that said 'local plasterer, best plasterer around, will work for food'...
havent stopped since! ;D
 
Havent seen Andys site but from where he is from pargetting used to be known as Essex Rendering as has been said it is feehand patterns onS&C or Lime a lot of the patterns are stamped on with oak carved stamps wetted and dipped in sawdust so the morter dosent stick to it. These stamps are often handed down from father to son over generations and are indvidual anyone in the know will know who done the job just by looking at it.

im gonna assume the skill is still in getting it flat and the knowledge of suction surface prep etc...
anyone can get a stamp and make a mark in render but its knowing when to have it that counts yes? thats the thing...
and the mix etc...
50/50 knowledge / skill...
 
Yep skill, knowledge and timing though i have never done it myself but seen it done properly.
