I received the 10/0 brush I ordered from Think Pink today and I can already tell the difference with my other brushes... It's awesome!! I can't wait till my 20/0, 30/0 and 40/0 brushes get here!!! :D

I've never seen anything smaller locally than a 20/0. I wish they had 30 and 40 ones. Anyone know where to buy some in the USA? I'd be very interested. I'm always taking the 20/0 ones I can get and plucking hairs out to make them even smaller.

my quick googling gave me this: http://www.micromark.com/-20and0-LINER- ... ,7684.html

i don't know anything about brushes, but it says 20/0... they seem to have a few different 20/0 ones, check it out? ^^ (I know this reply is 4 months late but... oh well XD )

They have 30/0 and 40/0. They are made by a gaming company for painting miniatures (small surprise there LOL). You can get them off of Ebay and Emory at Junkyspot also sells the very fine detailing brushes.

Thanks for the tip!! I'll have to get that one too ^^

-edit- when I read on the JS website that these brushes are made in Europe, I googled the product name and found this:

So yay! I can get them in England! And they're on sale!! ^^

If you have a pet, use their fur. Or their whiskers...my cat sometimes sheds whiskers, and they're stiff enough so that I could glue one of them (just one!) into a tiny espresso straw or something and use it as a brush <3 It's easier than pulling bristles out of another brush, because the fibers in other brushes have already been trimmed really short.
