buddha bamboo

I had never heard of Buddha bamboo until a month ago.  That's when I ran across a delightful art supply site called Blue Heron Arts.  I was looking for a mop brush - at least that's what I felt like it should be called.  Instead I found a Jumbo Sized Buddha Bamboo Rooster Feather Brush.  Finding a tool to make a large sweeping swoosh in watercolor was my aim.  Thanks to a confluence of roosters, bamboo, Blue Heron Arts and Google, I found what I was searching for.
