Questions & Answers
It depends on the type of ink you're using. I use these brushes with water-based inks such as stampin' up ink pads and distress inks from Ranger. The beauty of using these blender brushes is that they don't need to be cleaned very often if you use the same color family every time. Use ONLY green inks with the green handle brush in this example. When you're finished using the brush, say with a dark green ink, simply brush it over a piece of scape paper until the color no longer rubs any green ink onto the paper. You can then store it until you need to blend green ink again, or you can use it on a different shade of green with the same bush. If you feel the need to clean them out, say once a month, I simply put a very small drop of dawn dish soap in my palm, wet the brush, and rub it over the dish soap, then rinse it until it is soap free, dry it, and store it.
The 5- 1" x 1 1/2" is the size of the pack.
I used the brush with Jane Davenport Pastels and got a good result by picking up the pastel with a light touch and blending it smoothly.
They measure 3/4" x 1 1/8" in size. I hope you find this information useful.

I purchased two sets: one for Distress inks and the other for Distress Oxide inks. I also own a more expensive set that I purchased from a stamp company. I can't tell the difference between the two brands, and they're about a quarter the price. Many stamps come with stencils to make coloring easier. These are just the right size for stenciling. These brushes are of excellent quality, and I am very pleased with them.
These brushes have much smaller heads than traditional blending brushes. As a result, the ink is applied with greater precision. That may appeal to some, but it is not the purpose for which I purchased the brushes.
When I make greeting cards, I use these to blend the colors on the paper. Because the ones sold in paper crafting stores are too expensive, I decided to try these instead. I can't compare them to more expensive ones, but they're fine for me; I especially like the color handles, which allow me to use the same ink color while easily selecting a brush.
These are ideal for using with my distress oxide inks. It's a lot easier to blend with them. I like how there are so many different colors so I can easily tell which one to use for which ink.
This second set was purchased specifically for use with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink pads. Because the regular Distress Inks are a clear translucent ink, and these have the oxide that gives them a chalky, opaque look, you shouldn't use the same brush for them. I keep them in a $1 mini pail/bucket that I found. 00, so that they can be kept apart. Brushes are fantastic!.
When combined with Distress Oxide inks, the results are stunning, resulting in lovely smooth finishes. It is extremely simple to operate.
They're the only ones I've ever used, but they do a fantastic job. They're not particularly large, but I've never seen any of the name brand brushed in person, so I'm not sure how they compare. I was well aware that I didn't want a teeny-tiny brush. I, too, had no desire for a large one. These turned out to be the ideal size for my requirements.
I realized I needed these after showing her how to use them. They go together beautifully and are ideal for smaller projects. The larger ones are ideal for blending into the background. These, on the other hand, are fantastic for smaller areas, such as coloring in a flower (rather than the entire page), coloring in a stencil (parts at a time), and so on. They're a must-have for any crafter! I also appreciate the color-coding of the handles. It's also a great deal for the number of brushes you get!.
