Mottling Skin Tool from Secrist Site
Permalink   

Can anyone tell me what the end is made of?  I see that there are 2 types available - a Bullet Point and a Brush Point.  Has anyone ever used this tool?  I love the sea sponges and am always looking for something with a new pattern.  These mottling tools seem like they might be berry makers.  Is the tip made of the same material as a berry maker?  It says to carve patterns by splitting the ends with a trimming knife.  That sounds cool, but I think I might simply try it with one of the berry makers I already have.

I'd stick with the sea sponge or kitchen sponge, they have an uneven mottle to them and look realy nice when done well. I have the berry maker and have never used it. XXXX June.

I have not yet had the opportunity to try the Secrist mottling brush.  Secrist carries some excellent products, but when money is tight it's hard to justify the expense--especially when unsure if the product will perform as expected.  I hope we get responses from some others who may have used this brush.

Like you, I have a very limited budget so I try all sorts of other objects to achieve the mottled baby look.  I get some nice results with synthetic sea sponges, too.  And yes, I do  cut into the tips of the berrymakers.

In the meantime, I'll ask Secrist what the tips are made of.
