I've been making some brushes, and I just wondered what people have used as a source for their own brushes?

I've used photos of flowers and seeds before, bark, mushroom pores and gills as well as mushroom spots, lichen, chocolate cosmos buds, thistle down, and lately cracked eggshell, and egg drips, which I've converted to look like blood, and rust.

I have plans to go and do charcoal, chalk, ink and paint splatter... Fingerprints maybe?

and I was just wondering...

What else have people used as a source for a brush preset?

What have you used? or heard of?

Here's a link I have saved when I first started to find about custom brushes.

Although I don't rely on them, that should give you another idea where to get them though :)

That's okay, I do have tons of links - my question was - what do YOU use?  I was hoping to start a conversation about this.

Still, I'll take a look anyway, and I'm sure others will also appreciate it.

Anybody?  What strange things have you used for making brushes?

I've used the sheets you put in the washing machine to catch the colour - I used that as a texture for alien plants too!
