Subject: [Baren 18033] finger-tip-baren 

A finger-tip-baren suitable for printing isolated lines and final touch-ups

http://www.rst-art.com/wcin-sbar.htm

Built-up: An oval, rather strong piece of paper or thin piece of wood
(1/2x1") is sandwiched in-between two strips of modeling-clay (3/4x3"
large/long and about 2 mm thick), a small and thin sheet of plastic wrapped
around and the entire package glued long-line onto a piece of canvas
(1.5x10"). The canvas is then rolled up leaving an internal opening allowing
the three mid-finger of the hand to fit in. Finally a second piece of canvas
(1.5 x 4.5") is wrapped tightly and vertically around the first piece.
During printing this second piece will get in direct contact with the paper.
Used up it can easily be replaced.

The model-clay modulates the "hardness" of the paper or wood-piece
sandwiched in-between and keeps the "baren" in a stable position on the back
of the fingers of the hand allowing its perfect control.  Further the clay
protects the finger from getting burnt while printing. Comfortable to wear,
the device can be left in place during the whole process of printing.

This "finger-tip-baren" may be useful for purposes such as mentioned above

Hope in essence understandable, best wishes

Rudolf
