Exploring a paintbrush

The paintbrush becomes a study of form and function as we create our own with natural materials found in the woods.

"This is so soft. The feathers are smoother than the pine needles."  -Maren

"It's hair needs to be shorter. Maybe cut it? Now that's better. I snipped it. It's perfect." -Vivian

"A burr is like these plants because it's sticky." -Jane

"I first wired my bristles together." -Graeme

“This will be a perfect paintbrush handle because it’s so straight.  It has no bark on it. Cuz it’s small and smooth and not like my other one.”  -Birdie

"I just need to decorate it."  -Sevi

“It’s so it has a better grip.”  -Beatrice, wrapping her handle with string.
