Metal bristle texture brush

Expressive Mark-Making Tool for Mixed Media & Art Journaling
Not your average brush.
This retractable metal bristle tool creates raw, organic, scratchy textures that are impossible to achieve with traditional brushes or stamps. Originally designed for percussion, it makes an exceptional mark-making tool for art journaling, mixed media, gel printing, and layered backgrounds.
The fine metal bristles extend to create wispy lines or retract to a short, dense stub for more controlled, concentrated texture.
