Another way to use tools for surface decorating is just to use the common tools you did throwing
the piece. This one's my favorite. It's got this cool edge and can do a really thin line
or it can do a really thick line depending what edge of the tool you use. As you see
here I've actually drawn some lines in so let me add some more. I'll use the wheel slowly.
Hold the piece, or the tool, whatever you're using, very steady. That gives you way more
control than loosely holding any tool. And freely just make a design that's interests.
Sometimes I'll speed up and make a quicker design, but it's a very loose, fun, intuitive
way to decorate your surface. What I try to do is continue the same decoration I've used
on this piece in my other pieces that way the series looks good together and has a consistency
feel. Let me show you how it looks with the large surface being used. You can see it gives
you a deeper, a deeper texture.
