With a few more challenges to go we created our own paint brushes with Crystal Marie crystalmarie_artist for Fodder Challenge.

I used harvested wood from my garden - moringa and cotton wood that I grew, synthetic hair, yarn and palm plant fibers, they are great for mark-making and incorporating into creative projects
