Tool – Wave Large #16

Wave Large #16 – Take your original tool designs to the next level using all 4 sides and corners of this tool! Use the dimension of the tool profile to create your design.

• Three wave variations approximately the same length but with slightly different starting and ending shapes – two are curved and two are more pointed. Makes flowing repetitive marks for the “dragon flower” pattern. Use it like the wavy edges like the concave edge of the SC-3” Straight Curve tool, but with a curve. The wavy end is great for accenting a previous mark to squish and reinforce the marks like on the branches of the Tree of Life pattern.
• The corner of the straighter edge can be used as a starting point for a pattern rolling into the wavy edge. See my art nouveau patterns for examples of this.

 I use this tool to create tree branches or making mirroring art nouveau patterns.

Comes with a Tips and Techniques sheet including images of sample patterns to get you started.
