    Hi Gail.... I've tried this on some small projects (no walls yet) and 
have watched a few videos on how it's suppose to be done.  They said your 
sponge should be dampened before you put it in the paint... and have a layer 
of newspaper or paper towels handy to do some blotting if there seems to be 
excess paint in the sponge.  It's a good idea if you have a piece of board 
you could paint... then practice a little first.  Also you need a lot of 
wrist action to keep it from looking to much like a pattern.  I've been out 
house hunting and saw a house that they had done one wall a dark green then 
sponge painted white over it... it was really pretty.  The newest thing is to 
do it with a feather duster.  Hope this helps!
