this review title is: not the best blending brushes and the content is: i am really disappointed in these brushes i use distress inks alot i like to ink blend and i have been doing it for years i thought these brushes would be good for that but they are not and much too expensive i get better results using my ink daubers th blending tool or a soft make up brush save yourself some money there is other brushes on the market that do better i have tried all four sizes and one thing i noticed these brushes leave a heavy splotch wherever you first meet paper i have tried them on free hand stencils and taped images and i never get the effect i want the bristles are just stiff enough that they leave too much ink at once even when i start brushing on scrap paper off to the side then i spend too much time trying to blend i thought these would be easier not more work i gave them stars because they do fit my hand nicely i like the way they feel the wood handles but i am going back to my old methods sometimes they work bestan update months after receiving these brushes the hairs started falling out of brushes they are useless now.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did purchase it and the other is 14 people think this review is helpful.
