Altered Paintbrushes

 My son sent me an idea for altered paintbrushes which happened to be and idea I myself had saved on Pinterest. I then went and bought paint brushes made of wood and natural fibers as I knew I was going to use polymer clay to decorate them and they had to be oven safe. I tested them in the oven anyway so I wouldn't create something and then have it go up in smoke. Those paint brushes sat for quite awhile because I really have to be in the right mood for crafting and it has been a bit warm for turning on the oven. This past Saturday was cooler so I decided to go for it. Sculpting is hard for me because I don't really understand how to get the depth and perspective. I watched a Youtube video to get some help. I sculpted three faces on three different size brushes and then put them in the oven to bake. They came out pretty good and I put them aside to wait for the mood to paint them. Turned out that evening the mood came upon me. I kind of enjoyed it and sort of like the result. I may try this again.
