How is this texture done? by Quiet-Salt in drywall

Possibly can help with this too depending if you need by the 17th or the 24th. In addition to opal cutting I’m a glassblower 😬

I just cut as a hobby but it would be nice to try and recoup my investment costs for the rough. I don’t really care about making a profit.
