    I have longed for a great brush like,this one for furniture painting. . . I have read lots of great referrals about Zibra brushes, and I added them to my web site’s DIY page, but have yet to be able to try one. Maybe I will get lucky here. Thanks for featuring this wonderful painter and for the opportunity to enter to win.

    Beautiful work! I’ve been tempted to try the milk paint, but afraid to do so…I’m glad i could see how you have used it to bring out the unique style of each piece. I’m with you – I love the kind of furniture that was created without our modern machinery – you know the craftsmen really put their heart into their work. And many times those pieces will stand the test of time better than more modern furniture. Thank you for inspiring me further. God bless.

    Hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico! I shared your page to Pinterest. Your blue hutch resembles one I am currently finishing, and am excited about it. Thank you for the chance for a Zibra brush; I have been very curious about them. Your work is simple and pretty – my favorite way to paint furniture. I got started painting furniture when my Dad passed away one and a half years ago. Doing something creative, pretty, and fun helps with grief. That’s my story…. right now! Thank you!
