"The Altered Brush Project"

display your creativity, market your skills, join the art collaboration and own a place in the studio.

1. Purchase one of our brushes & a spot on our wall. For your purchase you will receive one of our unfinished paintbrushes, space to display your altered brush and market yourself in the studio (price includes the cost of shipping).
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:

donna downey studios

i will share pictures of every brush we get back and how they look on the walls as the collaborative art installation grows!

Fantastique! Je n'ai jamais autant aimé les pinceaux qu'en découvrant ceux-ci :o)
Ils sont magnifiques! J'aime beaucoup le Père Noël!

This is the first and probably last time I'll ever have a piece of my artwork hung above a commode but, as the special seat is used, the occupant may spend more time looking at it than they normally would. You may be on to something here.

[Ulyth]

I am really enjoying see all of these altered brushes. This post has so many wonderful and delightful and cool ones! Wow!

[Lisabee]

I am so loving following as all the paintbrushes arrive. It's an awesome idea and they all look fab!!!

[Philippa]

I had so much fun doing this and it really gave me the chance to create ''from inside'' without being frightened to. I am so thrilled to have my brush hanging in your bathroom! Oh how I'd love to come and see them in person but a bit too far from New Zealand! Everyone's brushes are STUNNING and I love the way they look on your wall. Big smiles from down under..

[Duaa]
