handmade brushes on etsy

Stauffer Linda on sat 29 dec 07


I just opened an etsy account to sell my handmade brushes for ceramic
artists.
I had shoulder surgery and couldn't throw
for a while so I went to a workshop and learned how to make some
awesome brushes. The moose mane ones are wonderful. They have just the
right amount of resistence/spring and they go quite a while before
reloading with slip. I have several more to list, but I need to take
more pictures. I've used everything from zebra mane to the hair on the
back of my yellow labs neck (it grew back). See you all at NCECA

Hi Linda,



Those Brushes look really nice..!


I just wanted to reach into the screen, grab one, and start decorating a
Pot.

They look like they would hold the right amount, and let it go just as they
should.


But, it will be some while before I am Throwing anything again, so...darn
it...


But it shows to go ya, how sometimes seeing something someone made can be
inspiring, and open something up..!


It got me good...and even if I can not do anything about it right now, I
enjoyed the 'tug' of imagination and vision it produced.




Best wishes,


Phil
