Brushes with authority!

[morgaina]

This is what I did this afternoon:

It was very fun. We used bamboo; various animal hair, mostly buck tails; wood burning; faux sinew; bits of leather; viking_food_guy and khalja may recognize a few of of their beads used as embellishment.


They may be elaborate, but they are also functional and sturdier than the typical sumi brush.
The above are mine and those of some guild friends. I was in brush making 101, they took the workshop previously so were in advanced techniques.


These are mine, photo taken at home so better image.

you got it :)
I assume the leaves are stripped off and they're left to dry?

Thanks!
Yes leaves are stripped off, some of the little branches or branch stumps are left on some of the brushes.
