Disaster strikes!
My expensive sable watercolor brushes, that I scraped and saved so long to buy, are dust. Who would have thought that I really SHOULD have put mothballs in with them. Or maybe it was mice.
Anyway, when I picked them up (memories washing over me) the hairs disintegrated and I was left holding a bunch of metal tipped sticks!
Since I began painting (an eon ago) synthetic brushes have improved exponentially. Used to be that nothing beat Kolinsky, but now White Sable (synthetic hairs) will be my choice for watercolor.
Tomorrow I will be off to the art store to see what I can find.
Perhaps, somewhere there are mice raising their families cradled in the comfort of Russian sable.
