A Brayer can produce some spectacular effects... ...on your creations
Learning how to use a Brayer is well worth the effort, when you see some of the things that can be achieved with this small piece of equipment.
This small piece of equipment is a hand held roller, generally used in print making.They are used to spread ink, paints, dyes or stamping inks around, and are now widely used in creating beautiful scenes for cardmaking. They can produce some really spectacular results but they do need some practise before you master the technique. Papers can be made to look like leather or fabric.
I must admit I am not that clever with one. But practise makes perfect so I will keep practising!! They can be made from rubber, sponge or acrylic and the one to use depends on the result you wish to achieve. Rubber rollers are ideal for creating backgrounds, while sponge ones are the choice for stencilling. You can...if you are skillful enough...carve your own pattern to create some unusual designs on your papers to make them truly unique. Take a look at the easy to create paper and have a go at it your self. Experiment and play around to see what you can create.
