Thread: His and Hers

His and Hers Trio



I finished these three this week.


Two for Him, and one for Her - or maybe not.





The makeup brush has a buffalo horn base, which shows a little figure.






It has a natural hair knot, and a nickel silver collar.







The one on the right has a 28mm Finest, set at 55mm, and a walnut base.









The left hand one has a 24mm Silvertip Bulb, set at 55mm, and has a base of nicely figured Circassian Walnut.









I also got this one completed.


Antler handle, Ramshorn base, 24mm Silvertip, set at 50mm.







And a last one for now.


Polished antler, again a base of the wonderful walnut, and a 24mm Silvertip, set at 50mm.

Neat stuff!
These brushes remind me of antler-handled hunting knives.

What type of fur was used for the makeup brush?

Very nice!!

I think that the hair in the makeup brush is Goat.

Very, very soft.

No reason why not to, that's for sure.

Beautiful work! I especially liked the inlays on the bases. Do you perhaps use those as a cartouche?

The "inlays" are mosaic pins. I always use some sort of pin in the bases to add strength.The pin extends through the base and into the antler. Sometimes a blind pin is used, if the base is thick enough.

I like the mosaics for a little added interest.
