Sure,why not:)
Now thats what I call a long handled brush.
Long handled brushes are the best.
Go for it...
Looks great! I am a fan of longer handles!!

I always thought my Big Pro was at the extreme of brush size with a 3" handle and 2½" loft. Just thinking out loud, how do you see yourself gripping it? Something that long might be unwieldy with the usual base of brush in palm and fingers gripping all round sort of hold.
If it fits in your hand, it's a good design. You are only limited by your imagination.....:chapeau
I already came up with 3 names for it :<0) It is cool, new,original. What more could you ask for ? I am a long brush nut myself.
only thing i'd consider is a flat bottom so you can set it down or at least a flat edge so it doesn't roll away. JMHO
Nice. I am trying out a longer handle myself...
As long as you can hold it and move it around it's ok.
I should be picking up a new brush tomorrow. The handle was adapted from a victorian sterling silver cutlery set, so it looks very extravagant. 6" long, including the actual bristles.

I would prefer it with the green section and the first pink ring missing, ie the red bit joined onto the light blue/pink/blue bit.Quote:

Yes - maybe with a little 'easing' or finessing of the red bit where it joins the light blue stem and possibly the stem being a bit longer. I think that red/green/pink/blue is another style that is attractive.

+1, I do leave a brush to dry overnight hanging, but once that is done they stand on the bottom. Love longer handles BTW, have Simpson Polo, and a Rooney something or other with long handles.Quote:
