Rolling Brushes
 
No, this is not a new band.. ;)

I have problems with brushes.. they roll. I don't like this brush holder with holes, so I get a piece of "swampy floral foam-brick" and covered with cling film. Now I pressed my brushes into the foam. Ready.

Here is a picture (say more than thousand words)
I'm interested on any other solution too.

Cheers.

Great Idea!
 
Thanks, Leslie -

I'd been looking at the ones you can buy in art catalogues but didn't want to spend the money. This is a great cheap solution.

There are lots of variations on this style, carried by Dick Blick . I have a couple of metal ones and another in Chinese porcelain, all impulse purchases made in defiance of the fact that these would be extremely cheap and easy to fashion out of a piece of wood.

I like my little whale. My daughter Jennifer created this in the first or second grade right at twenty years ago.

Thanks for the good ideas. Here in my catalogue (with over 1000 pages), but only the solution of Mike is in. Is this not dangerous for the eyes? (I mean the brushes are long and pointed etc..)
The "secret" sketch of Steven is my favorite, I would be make it from plexiglass, but patent pending......;)
Many thanks!.
