Reeves International Scratch picture "Wolf", silver, 11 x 18 cm

Scratching pictures is a popular hobby. The great thing for crafters is that results become visible after just a few minutes. The scratching pictures are available in various designs, and the technique is quick to learn and easy to understand. The template is covered with a silver foil, which is concealed by a black matte layer. The design is printed in gray on this black surface. The task is to scratch away the fine lines with the scratching knife. The silver foil then becomes visible against the black background, creating an impressive image. The art lies in precisely scratching out the lines. Different patterns can be created with the scratching knife, and it is recommended to practice these on a practice sheet beforehand. It is also important to position the scratching knife at the correct angle. The Scraper-Classic from Reeves features a large wolf's head. The special aspect is the fine details of the fur, where various engraving techniques can be applied. After a short practice phase, even beginners will become familiar with scratching. Children should only work on scratching pictures under adult supervision.
