PALM BRUSH

ca: ESCOMBRA AMB FULLES DE PALMA

es: ESCOBA DE HOJAS DE PALMA

Palm brush is a brush made with leaves from palm trees. This brush has the form shown in the two photos and can be made in different sizes. If the brush is new, soak it in water, as the older and more used the brush, the better. Knock it about a bit to give it an uneven texture. It can be used for dusting the bisque and is very good for making uneven textures with glaze and colors.
