Water Brushes

Has anyone tried these fantabulous looking things? They hold about 2 Tbsp of water (it looks like) and the brush portion looked half decent. They had them marked up to $12.00 (gasp) I guess because of all the couponing.

That would help speed up the lining portion so much an would keep from either spraying the cake or dipping in dirty water. How do you reload it with water?

Anyone tried it?

my sister has one of those to sculpt the art silverclay..I don't know how it works with paint..

What is it called?

This came up years ago on another group - they don`t work for face paint very well. No one I know uses them. Some tried them with negative reviews.

OOOOHHHH!!!! I have one of those! I'll try it now and let you know

Ok so here's the package it comes in (and you can see Denise that I got it at Craft Warehouse and it was only $7.69 there, I know there are Craft Warehouses in Utah, any near you?)...the brand is Niji, the company website on the back is "Yasumoto" though.

Stacia, have you tried if for linework? I'm just thinking no more dipping to do black lines, etc.

I'll try it for line work now, sorry...had a friend call and interrupt my demo. Will attempt to record a video if they work ok.

Here's the pic of a comparison to a couple of #4 brushes...

I like the sharp point so if it works (doesn't drip or not mushy) it would be cool. Show how you would load fresh water...Please

It doesn't really drip extra water unless you squeeze it, you have to squeeze moderately hard to get that one or two drops, it's not going to happen accidentally unless you're taking out your frustration on your brush . I would say it's not too stiff not too limp...medium. The video is being processed right now, should take a few more minutes. I didn't see your request for showing how to load fresh water, so I'll do another showing how to fill it.

don't you just stick it under the sink? lol...

I am at the edge of my seat waiting to see this video!!!

I'm not the best YouTuber, so don't get your hopes up too high!
It's got a little valve thingy on the handle end once you unscrew the brush end off, so it's more like one of those little rubber ducky bath toy squirty things, you squeeze out as much air as you can, then stick it in a cup of water and release your grip and the water gets sucked in, you have to repeat that like 3 times before it's full.

makes sense!

Ok, so I'm an idiot and the video is all skinny, didn't play that way on my iPhone...I'll have to figure that out for next time.
Anyway...here it is...
