If i go to Michaels or Joanns how will i know if they are brushes for hairpainting? Will they be called a specific namebrand? THanks

You can use any brand. a 18/0 script liner or 20/0 script liner, and a comb brush (sometimes called a rake brush) are great.

Janis, the brushes I got are called Royal Aqualon wisp brushes. Hope that helps.

Thanks ladies....i'm hoping to go to the craft store today and maybe i'll look to see if they have something i can use. Thanks again!

I saw a really good head painted with 1/2" Royal Majestic 4730 brush, too.

Well ladies needless to say i went to the Joann fabrics and the michaels that we have here and i couldnt find no brushes. Michaels had a fan rake brush but i didnt think that was what i wanted so i didnt buy it. So i guess maybe online i will have to look for brushes. Anyone know where online would be good for hairpainting brushes? Thanks

Janis, Check out Peggy's site............... Rebecca just sent me some brushes she picked up for me, and a couple were from Peggy......... well worth checking out.

Thank you ladies! I have a hard time finding stuff here in our stores.

Janis, I know that feeling all too well!! Other than a Walmart and a Kmart and numerous cheap variety stores, I have to drive about 30 miles away to get anything! I do most of my shopping on the internet as a result.

Yes me to. Except when i was at Joann fabrics someone on another forum told me that they bought one of them white frilly rugs to pose the babies on and take a picture at Joanns so i bought that it was a yard for $14.99 and then i had a coupon for half off so i got it for $7.50 so i was excited about that. But i have a hard time finding stuff here so i have to resort to the internet to. Bummer cause it might be cheaper in the stores. O well i guess. Thanks

There is no Joann fabrics anywhere near me that I've found! Very difficult to find plush fabrics, etc. I do want a white rug type furry swatch for posing, though!

Well i can always go there i think they have a coupon maybe this week for 40% off.

I have been unable to find the whisp (comb) brushes at Michaels or Joann's and that' why I bought a bunch of them and put them on my website. Michaels does have Maxines' mops and good to use coupons on. My brushes are priced much below retail too.
