Living up to the Hype so far...

I have sort-of a random collection of brushes. Collection is a strong word: I have two.

They look well loved:

I mean look at this thing (I can't believe it went missing - who would claim it besides me?!?)

and that one uber fancy name brand one that I got used for like $20 

But I was down to one pink rubber curry going brittle, a home-made Sleek-EZ (maybe I should do a tutorial?), and the Hermes, so it was time to get a few decent tools...

After all, the artist is only as good as their brushes, yes?

You missed a spot!!

So I took the advice of fellow bloggers and looked into the Leistner brushes.

They cost about the same as some of my nice watercolour brushes, LoL!

I picked out three, a Natural Bristle Dandy Coat Shine Brush, a Natural Bristle Dandy Dust Brush, and the much heralded Luxurious Large Goat Hair Brush, as well as a new jelly scrubber for bath time.

They came the same day as Tesla's little visitor, so on the drive up to the barn I had a second expert opinion (whether I wanted it or not, LOL)

Little S brushed herself with each one, and pronounced which one she wanted to use:

So far, I'm very impressed with their quality. These brushes seem made to last.

Time will tell :)
