Tool – Paisley Large #14-4" for larger vessels
Paisley Tool Large #14-4” - Define flowing lines, make lively rosettes and repetitive patterns on larger vessels. This is a larger version of the P-3” Paisley tool found in the original Texture Tool Kit. The additional length allows you to make similar marks on larger pieces such as a vase.
- Large, rounded end is great for starting larger flowers in the floral pattern or luscious art nouveau patterns.
- Smaller pointed end is great for accents, slightly more pointed than the original Paisley tool. A great start to a tree trunk, art nouveau pattern or accents.
Using the scale and length of the tool helps on large pieces.
Comes with a Tips and Techniques sheet including images of sample patterns to get you started.
