Polymer Clay and Paint Brushes

I have been experimenting with combining Polymer Clay Creations with Paint Brushes and have found that the two compliment each other extremely well.  The polymer clay pieces are creations that I have had for awhile and realized that by adding them along with other embellishments they make very unique gift items.

I painted bright red paint on the handle of this brush and embellished it with a polymer clay mouse, which I created, and centered her on a multi colored band of paper. I tied a polka dot aqua blue ribbon on the handle and added a bright blue heart in the center. The bristles have been painted with the purple luminous paint. 

With this creation, I painted purple acrylic paint on the handle and embellished the brush with a polymer clay Indian boy, which I created, and centered him on a purple and lavender ribbon. A large deep burgundy ribbon is tucked in behind the little boy giving  the brush a special touch. The bristles have been painted with the purple luminous paint.

I painted a lavender wash on the handle of this paint brush and embellished it with a cream colored feather and a large iridescent purple bow. I created the face centerpiece out of polymer clay giving the brush an artsy appeal. It is 9" tall by 5" wide and will hang easily on a nail.

Paint brushes aren't used just for painting ~ this brush has been decorated, making it a perfect gift for someone who wants something a little different. Painted a dark purple and embellished with a great big sunflower and double layered lace. It is 9" tall by 5" wide and will hang easily on a nail.

I wrapped the handle of this paintbrush with masking tape and painted it a light green color, I then wrapped purple ribbon around the handle and embellished it with a single pink rose and purple tulle. The brush has been painted with purple and green acrylic paint.

I painted the handle of this paintbrush a soft brown color for a nice contrast to the aqua blue and purple of the polymer clay butterfly centerpiece that I created. A beautiful multi color ribbon actuates the centerpiece and a special tag with the word Hugs hangs from the top and personalizes this creative piece. This brush is 8.5" tall by 3" wide.
