Review (1/5): Not the best blending brushes!
I'm really disappointed in these brushes. I use distress inks alot, I like to ink blend and I've been doing it for years. I thought these brushes would be good for that but they're not. And much too expensive! I get better results using my ink daubers, TH blending tool or a soft make-up brush. Save yourself some money - there's other brushes on the market that do better. I've tried all four sizes and one thing I noticed, these brushes leave a heavy "splotch" wherever you first meet paper. I've tried them on free-hand, stencils and taped images and I never get the effect I want. The bristles are just stiff enough that they leave too much ink at once, even when I start brushing on scrap paper off to the side then I spend too much time trying to blend. I thought these would be easier, not more work! I gave them 3 stars because they do fit my hand nicely. I like the way they feel, the wood handles! But I'm going back to my old methods, sometimes they work best.
An update: 2 months after receiving these brushes, the hairs started falling out of 3 brushes. They're useless now.
