Simon Brown takes old, falling-apart brushes, and turns them into delightful nature scenes, using the bristles as stand-in for grass.

Part dreamer, part rural mythologist.

He rescues the overlooked worn brushes, weathered shoes, objects that have passed through human hands and been quietly discarded, and restores them to meaning by writing them into entirely new stories.

He then adds felted animals to the scenes, bringing an entire miniature scene alive, to warm effect. Via Fubiz:
