Bringing “Dead” Synthetic Art Brushes Back to Life
This brush restoration run-through on Midwinter Minis is very basic, but there are some good tips in here. For instance, the use of matt clay hair product to condition your brushes and how to re-point them in the palm of your hand after cleaning and conditioning.
They also make an important point about re-purposing brushes. A used-up base coating brush can become a dry brush and a dry brush can be given a hair cut to become a stippling brush. And old, exhausted brushes can always be pressed into service as a glue brush.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
