[Scriptoris] yarka black squirrel brushes

[nweders@mail.utexas.edu]

  I have offered to help out a friend by selling her over stock on 
brushes.  These are really nice quality brushes, just not in sizes for 
illumination.  However, for other art type projects they are great.
I've been using them (got a set) and I really like them.   I will be at 
Bryn Gwlad Baronial if anyone wants to see them.  (I'm manning the 
Volunteer booth. )  I will also be up in the Steppes area for Don Eisen's 
wedding and for visiting this weekend.


These brushes are very nice.... They are Yarka which is misleading.   The 
brushes are very good, the Russians are very bad at capitalism. 
(grin).  THey introduces their line over here badly and way under priced so 
everyone avoided them.  My friend worked for an art supply company and 
still gets things sometimes from them (she also was the demo rep for 
Winsor-Newton and Liquidtex). Anyway, she was able to buy a whole display 
of brushes from her old company to get her set of sable (she only uses 
sable for oil)  She had tons of the black squirrel that while she kept a 
few asked me to see if I could sell them down here to recoup the expense of 
the display. (it was cheaper if she bought the display of all rather than 
the set of sable -- go fish).

At any rate, these things are sized horribly but once you get the size out 
the brushes are lovely.  I used one the other day for some work and the 
water they hold is lovely.  Just no calligraphy type sizes for charter 
painting.
