Tool – Bear Foot 3” with Small Rounded and Tiny Wave ends

Bear Foot #7-3” with Small Rounded and Tiny Wave ends – A great accent tool. Use the small, rounded end is another curve option, roughly the size of the smaller end of the P-3” Paisley tool in the original Texture Tool Kit. Use it for larger feathering, rooftiles or scales. Tiny wave end makes flowing repetitive marks for the “dragon flower” pattern. Use it 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.  I use this in conjunction with the larger wave tools to squish them together to get a really lush mark in the dragon flower and for the branches of the Tree of Life. Comes with a Tips and Techniques sheet including images of sample patterns to get you started. Need instructions on “Pushing the Clay”?
