French Cafe Paint Brush Holder on ETSY & Grateful Thursday

This soft up-cycled denim and cafe curtain fabric made up a very attractive and useful paint brush holder... A jean seam became it's tie. I chose a potpourri of cotton pieces: gingham, 40's table cloth, and cafe curtain fabrics quilted across the the back.
On the inside resting spot for your brushes is a whole piece from the French Cafe curtain fabric.
Room for eleven brushes, more if you want to double up in some spaces.

I really enjoyed making these and thought at the suggestion of some blog friends
that they'd make nice gifts.
I have some at the gallery gift shop and this one and two others in my ETSY shop. *************

  1. Wow, if I had that many paint brushes, I might be tempted. I think I have three! This is such a clever idea. I like your list of things you are grateful for, too. Being alive is possibly the best. That's because I'm grateful I have you as an art friend.

  3. Love that little cafe material, reminds me of my summer trip to Paris. I'm thankful that I made room in the garage for my own little art space. It makes me happy. I really need to start exercising too, thanks for the reminder. :)
