Here is the follow up to the decorating video I did for AMACO/Brent. I have been using AMACO LUGs since the early 80's and find them the best choice for how I work . I often use fingers for my casual decorating process however I do use brushes as well. The lines and shapes I make using my fingers have a certain posture, quality and look that I cannot get with brushes. Really I just do whatever process it takes to get what I want. I thank my fantastic and talented friend Jill Foote Hutton for filming this and having a great sense of humor!
