Having a play with calligraphic markings using fabric printing paints and one of my favourite Isabey brushes. Was VERY careful not to let the paint dry in the brush!
Hi flaxlilly4.....The brush is fine-tipped, tapered with belly, hand- made with beautiful bristles....the fabric printing ink if left in the brush will clog and bind the bristles together and it would require a bit of rough treatment to clean properly...not what the brush deserves...so I am very careful to wash the brush out after use and even while using it in warm weather....Deb

I can't wait to see where this goes!
may I ask why do you not leave any ink on the brush?
may I ask why you are so careful not to leave ink on the brush? Di
