I was watching a video from artist Joy Ting Charde and in it I saw…

…a LEGO Paintbrush holder/rest.  I was immediately charmed and had to make my own.  I stick my brush in my mouth a lot.  My mouth is my third hand when I'm working and have nowhere to put a painty brush for a moment while I use my hands.  This is a far superior idea. And so easy!

the most difficult part was digging through our massive collection of miscellaneous LEGOs!

In the end, I made four different paintbrush holders:

I'm going to road test the four designs and I'll be sure to report back on which one works the best for me!

Thanks for stopping by!

    although way beyond the days of stepping on legos at night, thought that a “collected” series might be a good way to use legos for these little jewels and bring some joy to the middle of the night ouches!!!
    i actually use and collect chopstick rests for my paintbrush holders.
