Quote from: Wardukw on February 23, 2025, 01:27:21 AMYou don't want to know the price of good quality paint brush here Chris ...it's freaking scary mate .

Can be pricey everywhere. I normally refurbish my brush drawers at SMW as they normally have a couple of specialised traders doing good deals. However since I discovered Brush Magic I don't need to replace brushes quite so frequently.
We've got a company here called Gordon Harris..it's a dedicated art supply store...they have a great range od brushes as you'd expect but man o man...some those brushes are over the hundred dollar mark and there not anything flashy either ...they've got De Vinci brushes from very cheap and very not cheap  :o
Not cheap as in $35 notes for a 0003 brush...but damn there good ..they are sable so there ya go .

You ever tried plucking the hairs out of a sable to make a brush? :unsure: ... Vicious little brutes, they are! :o

Just follow one around a pick up the hairs they drop as they walk along. I'm sure they won't mind.  :wacko:  :wacko:

I watched something funny a whole back..a youtube channel I watch called Squidmar Miniatures had a problem..they have their own brand of sable paint brushes and they ain't cheap but they couldn't import them into the US cause it's considered a illegal species or something like that 😂 🤣

Well now this is interesting/disturbing. I'd never heard of the "Laundryverse" before these posts by Pressure, but now it's swung into my orbit again, via a totally unconnected route, for the second time in a few weeks.

I was watching a video about the 1974 CIA operation to raise the wreck of the Soviet K-129 submarine, using a purpose-built salvage vessel called the Hughes Glomar Explorer. The real codename of the operation was Project Azorian, but it was incorrectly reported by the press at the time as Project Jennifer ("Jennifer" was the codename of the "cell" within which information about the operation was compartmentalized, not the operation itself). The Wiki article on Project Azorian lists, in it's "See Also" section, a novel called the The Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross, and guess what? It's one of the Laundryverse books... :o  Apparently it references the Glomar Explorer operation as inspiration for a billionaire's ill-advised attempt to raise a powerful occult object from the seabed.

This is not the first time that the multiverse has played silly-buggers with me and thrown related things across my path seemingly at random. If it happens a third time, I might have to give in and read the books (like I need more books to read... :rolleyes: )
