Clean-Up Information:

Use a common art solvent (such as odorless paint thinner) to remove paint/cold wax, then wash with a mild soap such as Dove or Murphy's Oil Soap to remove any residual media.
Use your fingers/palms to rub the wire bristles to remove the residual media from the brush head.
Never leave sitting in-solvent
Make sure to thoroughly clean and rinse off the solvent. Leaving solvent on without removing it with water and soap can damage the brush

Cold Wax Fiber Flat Brush

I bought this brush for its aesthetic beauty--and display it as art in my studio. I have used it once and while I appreciate its possibilities for my cold wax work, the practicalities around using wax and oil paint presented some clean up challenges. The wax tended to glob on the bristles even after I soaked the brush--I used a mild soap for oil brush clean up--perhaps it requires full blown solvent. Also the bristles are packed very tightly together and in trying to get the wax out of the crevices, I bent some of the bristles. My only suggestion would be to maybe not pack the bristles so tightly, but that may cause other structural Issues. Anyway, I still love this object and am glad I bought it. Its beauty is motivation to use it to create. Keep up the beautiful work Elizabeth!

Incredible Quality

I am very impressed by the quality and hand-made beauty of this tool. I will definitely be purchasing more tools in the future.

Great brush

I ordered three brushes. To be honest they were so beautifully made and gorgeous I almost didn’t use them. However I did use them and I love them. I would def buy more and recommend them highly.
