Mindy's original altered brush inspired this whole art collaboration...i cant thank her enough for her creativity and for contributing a brush to our walls.

this amazing collaboration brush was made by a sassy group of ladies that affectionately call themselves the "Late Bloomers". In the card she says she has dedicated her blog to anyone who thinks, "they are too old to be creative." OMG i love it!

2. Alter the brush anyway your creative spirit takes you. They can be as simple or elaborate as you like NOTE: do not obstruct the hole in the handle so that it can be hung on the wall
3. Sign and date the back of the brush giving it your artists’ signature!
4. Attach your personal calling card (business card size) with any information about yourself you feel comfortable sharing that hangs through the hole in the brush handle
5. Mail or return the brush to the studio:

fabulous brushes!

[Cathie P.]

I ordered a brush last week and I am having so much fun planning my design for it. I had to participate because I just felt that you share so much with us--I have to give something back. Best of luck with your new studio space, it really is grand. It would be wonderful if, somehow, I could see it in person some day and meet you and use your bathroom :). Once you have the brushes all in place, I hope you'll post photos of how they look in their new home. The biggest challenge now, for me, is--how will I ever explain what I am working on to my husband?

[Trish Hilbrand]

Wow! These really are amazing!!!!!!

[BarbaraH]

Wow, each one is truly impressive. So much creativity, can't wait to see them on your wall. What a great idea.

[Erin Keane]

Very cool project! I'm especially loving the late bloomers one ;)

[Debbie crews]

I so love the bunny brush! Saw your artwork in the magazine. Congratulations! Nice work

[Marjie Kemper]

What an awesome variety! I'm so glad you got mine and happy to be part of it.

Awww, my fish's lips fell off! I had a cute little heart lip on him. Still looks great and it was so much fun!

[Amber Widener]

I am so happy you got my brush!! It was so much fun to make and I cannot wait to make another one just for me!!

[Karen]

I just ordered a brush and a few other things! I can't wait to start! These brushes so far are fantastic!

[Janine Whitling]

I love these brushes! And i LOVE this project. What an amazing wall you'll have. I'm a little jealous. Maybe if anyone else wants to do a swap as a new project? What do you think?

[Jackie DuChene]

I’m in the simple Project Life camp as well :) I LOVE the other ones but for my 1st year I’m just enjoying documenting so much more detail of our daily lives that whatever I put in there is fine with me!

...this is the coolest project ever...please post a picture of your bathroom so far...i can't wait until it is finished:)

[CraftyDawn]

What inspiration! love this idea and the beach one is very cool! xx

[plumbing]

Out of your creativeness an object which is intended to do a particular thing would look so unique and will have a new purpose. A brush with this look even used would be a great decor for home with a vintage or pastel look, don't you think?

[AllenCarlos]

Such a fantastic concept and thanks for publishing images of what others are delivering in!

[Plastic cards printing]
