Abstract
An art and craft tool for spreading pigment from a naturally pigmented solid material to onto a workpiece surface, comprising a tool frame; a base surface on the tool frame; a material holder projecting outwardly of the base surface and configured to releasably mechanically secure a naturally pigmented solid material adjacent to the base surface, against slippage with respect to said base surface; wherein such naturally pigmented solid material secured by the holder may be pressed against a workpiece and rubbed such that pigment from the material is pressed by the base surface against the workpiece and pigment from the pigmented material is deposited onto the workpiece.
Claims21
An art and craft tool for spreading pigment from a naturally pigmented solid material onto a workpiece surface, comprising:
- a tool frame;
- a base surface on the tool frame;
- a material holder projecting outwardly of the base surface and configured to releasably mechanically secure a naturally pigmented solid material adjacent to the base surface, against slippage with respect to said base surface;
- wherein such naturally pigmented solid material is sufficiently secured by the holder so that the naturally pigmented solid material may be W pressed against a workpiece and moved relative to the workpiece such that pigment from the material is transferred to the workpiece.
An arts and crafts process for applying pigment from a solid naturally pigmented material to a workpiece, comprising:
- providing a tool frame;
- providing a base surface on the tool frame;
- providing a material holder on the base surface, configured to secure a solid naturally pigmented material against slippage along the base surface;
- securing a solid naturally pigmented material to the material holder;
- and
- pressing the secured pigmented material against the workpiece such that pigment from the pigmented material is transferred to the workpiece.
A process for applying pigment from a pigmented material to a workpiece surface, comprising:
- obtaining a naturally occurring solid pigmented material;
- placing the pigmented material against a workpiece surface;
- and
- pressing a base surface against the pigmented material and workpiece surface with sufficient force to cause a transfer of pigment from the material to the workpiece surface.
