SKU: boar bristle brush
The first hard step in ronghua is taming the silk threads. This brush is built for that step.
For anyone new to velvet flower work, combing and smoothing the silk is the first real challenge — tangled or uneven threads show up in every petal that follows. The right brush makes the difference between fighting the silk and working with it.
We chose this brush for three reasons: dense natural boar bristles that grip the threads without cutting them, a solid rosewood handle that sits comfortably in the hand, and a stiff feel that gives you steady, controlled strokes from the first pass.
Use it to smooth, separate and line up your silk threads before shaping, so the material is even and ready for the work ahead.

Velvet ArtisanHong 绒花匠人
Ronghua velvet flower · China
I'm Hong. I make Chinese silk flowers by hand in Guang'an, Sichuan — Chanhua and Ronghua, the two crafts my grandmother taught me over six years.
She is eighty-nine now and has made these flowers since she was a girl. I left the craft for an office job in Guangzhou, missed the quiet of making something with my hands, and came back. Now I do this full time, and every piece in this shop is wound by me.
