Coffee and Decorative Painting don't mix...
(Toronto)
Having your water basin next to your coffee mug is just an invitation for disaster!
How often have I rinsed my brush in my cup of java? I'll bet I'm not the only one! :o)
Recently I rested a brush in my mug, not realizing, and nearly poked my eye out when I tried to sip from my mug!
Sheesh!
