ClayArters, I have been told not to use links that have question marks in
them because this is a call to action which will be completed by the websit=
e
that you visit whereby you can get a virus. I don't know much more about
this that what I have just stated and I don't mean this as a reflection on
DJ Brewer. Just wanted to ask if this may be an urban legend or if anyone
knows if this is true.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Subject: chinese brushes for my birthday
its my birthday and I'm looking at these chinese brushes -- I'm an
avowed brushaholic. When I was in Taiwan and Korea last year, I bought
these great brushes -- hand made -- I love them. They are for
calligraphy, but they handle glaze application so well.
Here's what I am looking at
http://www.artrealization.com/shop/index.php?cPath=3D21&sort=3Dproducts_sor=
t_ord
er&page=3D2
cant' decide yet which ones I want to get. I was thinking about the ones
the removable heads, but then I was afraid they'd get lost in the glaze
bucket if they fell off. Of course, I could fish around for them but --
I'm not so sure. I like the fact that there are a lot of different sizes.
anyway, if anyone knows any other good sites for chinese brushes, or has
some good advice about it, I'm all ears.
much love

Vicki,
This is complete rubbish. Yes, it may be a dangerous URL, but so may be
the one without a "?". Sort of same as a box that just arrived from the
post office. It MAY have an explosive it in. But it could also be that
book you ordered from Amazon.
Question marks are used routinely to pass parameters in URL's for "get"
method. I would venture to guess that about half of all URL's you
encounter would have question marks in them.

A lot of times links with question marks occur because it is a result of
a search. For example, you are looking for brushes, you type "brushes"
in a search box, and the generated page has a question mark indicating a
search. They are usually generated by php, a scripting language used
for dynamic websites.

Hi Roxanne,
Thanks to Linda Staufers, her email on brushes is also good to read, she =
=3D
is a professional brushmaker! I find the simple method carefully done =3D
works fine for me. I have used bamboo with short branches still on to =3D
serve as holders when brush is set on the table and of course it is best =
=3D
to hang brushes so a little hole drilled through the bottom or the crook =
=3D
of a branch can hang them. I think waxed dental floss might also hold =3D
the fur nicely before they are glued. At any rate it is fun to try your =3D
hand at anything, I make a lot of "things" , may not be the best but it =3D
is a joyful task and handmade gifts, no matter how simple, are a sure =3D
sign of loving-kindness.----- Original Message -----=3D20

HI,
The tubing is stuff car and electronic people use I think for putting =3D
several wires together, you can get it at Radio Shack and Auto parts =3D
stores, no name specifically that I know of.

Dear Carolyn,
I have a question about the rubber tubing -- is it some kind of =3D
special shrink wrap tubing? Can you tell me the brand name? I don't =3D
really understand what the rubber tubing is.=3D20
Carolyn Boeri wrote:=3D20
Hi DJ,
I have gone so far as to get some skunk tail from a road kill. Also, =
=3D
hardware stores that carry fly-fishing equipment have little packages of =
=3D
badger, deer, etc. Tails are best because they are longer and hold =3D
together easier. It is quite subjective as to what you are going to =3D
like. Some people like their dogs hair, their own hair...The next thing =3D
after the hair is the rubber tubing that I think automotive stores =3D
carry, they have little packages of different sizes. These are =3D
eventually what are going to hold the hair to the handle. you will want =3D
some bamboo too, sometimes you can find it at nurseries, people use them =
=3D
as stakes in the garden. If you are lucky some grows nearby. Anything =3D
you can think of that is hollow and would feel good on your hand, wood =3D
is best, I think. Anyway, you take a bunch of the hair configured in =3D
your hand so there is a point in the middle, do not cut the tip off, too =
=3D
artificial and doesn't paint well. The part that sets on the handle or =3D
goes into the handle is glued in with gorilla glue or wellbond the hair =3D
is made wet so it sticks to itself and you slip a piece of rubber tubing =
=3D
over the hair and the brush half and half. measure before you cut, too =3D
long is better then too short, you want the hair in there at least a 1/2 =
=3D
to 5/8 and also 5/8 or so on the brush. Then you roll the rubber above a =
=3D
candle making it shrink wrap on the hair and brush. Not to close to melt =
=3D
and krinkle and not less than you need to get a tight fit. experiment =3D
with just the rubber on something first if you are unsure. After that =3D
you take some multi-colored embroidery thread and wrap it around the =3D
rubber to cover it. There is a trick to making a little loop above the =3D
rubber and a tail at the bottom, which when you are finished wrapping =3D
the embroidery thread from bottom to top you then lace the last thread =3D
into the loop and pull it inside the wrap by pulling on the loose thread =
=3D
you have hanging at the bottom. Make any sense? Some people use empty =3D
bullet shots, pour in some glue and stick in a neatly bunched piece of =3D
hair. No embroidery, simple man's brush!! Play around with it, you may =3D
come up with something better.
good luck,
Carolyn
