This week we will discover what you can do with your new tools. What are the tips and their uses?edithguo

Of course, there are many types to choose from. The question is, which ones do you REALLY need to get started. Do you want to do mostly shading? Fine writing? Broad lines? A combination? That would depend on what you are crafting on and for. An example would be making a large sign, maybe for a shop or advertisement. You will want a broader tip that you will be able to cover a large area quickly. A small sign for your front porch is a different story. You will want a fine tip for writing, and maybe a broad one for thicker lines (borders) or decorations.allergicrhiniti

Here are a few of the tips that are most useful, whether you have decided what you want to design or not.

Tapered Point: You will want the fine tip of the tapered point to sign your name, either on the front or the back of your project. This is the tip I find that I use the most. It can make straight or curved lines, and write in cursive or block letters, and intricate designs on a number of surfaces.當初的夢

Shading Point: This is a bent "spear" shape and is actually one of the most versatile of all tips. Because of the shape of the point it can reach areas that other tips cannot. This particular tip creates beautiful shading with a light touch.

Calligraphy Point: This tip produces eye-catching calligraphy style lettering and shaping.夢想的國度

Flow Point: This tip is rounded and very useful for broad lines (curved or straight), writing, dots or dot shading.

A couple of others that are available, though not used as often are:

Hotknife Point: Will cut and shape not just wood, but a variety of materials such as cork, plastic, or gourds.

Transfer Point: Transfers color and black and white laser copy images onto a variety of surfaces. Useful for transferring complicated patterns.商務中心
