I have created a boar brush for my Etsy store. This knot came from TGN, but is an Italian knot used in Omega brushes. It came with the black plastic ring, just like Omegas. I removed the ring because I do not like the way it looks and also I like to set the loft a tiny bit lower than set with the ring. Resin is imported (German, I think) in Leopard skin print. Really nice material and seems sturdier than regular polyester resin.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 122mm
Handle: 62mm
Loft: 60mm
Knot: 28mm

I have created another two tone brush. This one has Marble on the bottom and Gold Coast on the top. As usual, photos do not do the resin justice. There is so much light play static pictures do not show.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 105mm
Handle: 59mm
Loft: 46mm
Knot: 24mm Bulb shape

I have created a brush by custom order from a new to me resin called Blue Pearl. This stuff looks like moonstone if you have every seen it. It's mostly the color of moon and under a certain angle the swirls of bluish pearly color appear. It's quite stunning. I used a piece of Black Peacock for a ring in the middle for an accent.

I am confident that Vladimir is one of a few - his brushes are superior in their quality but less expensive relative to the brand name commercial brushes. Highly regarded by many.

I have created a new brush for my ETSY shop.

This one is made with a Golden Marble and Copper resins. Copper is used for a ring in the middle of the handle and is really a good accent on the Golden Marble, which is just like the regular grey marble, but gold flakes in it. It is warmer in tone than the grey marble and is a treat to the eyes. The knot is TGN two band finest.


Brush Dimensions (approximate):


Total height: 107mm
Handle: 58mm
Loft: 49mm
Knot: 26mm Bulb shape
