To Brayer, or to Sponge??

Oh, I have fallen in love with an old new tool! You heard me right, an old, new tool.  I purchased a brayer a while back, but have not been brave enough to pull it out and experiment with it.  Thanks to a few of my demonstrator friends, I have seen the brayer used on a few projects in the last few months and decided I would give it a try.

If you like to sponge, then you will probably like the brayer too.  I used my brayer on a technique called emboss resist, and I have to say that I prefer it over my sponge.  It is much faster and provides more even coverage.  Don't get me wrong, I will still use my sponge when I want that uneven look, but these particular projects were perfect for the brayer.
