If it were me I would just send it to Mark Larson, tell him what you want, and pay him for it. He makes his living as an artist, has the right materials, and knows what he's doing.
You'd wind up with 4 positives: support the arts, get the job done right, no expenditure on expensive materials you likely won't use again, and less frustration on your part.
