I recently made a pen holder / desk sculpture for a friend of mine in Chicago. Upon receiving it, he called me a few days later and said, “Do you know what I’m using your pen holder for?” “My toothbrush.”
He went on to tell me that he had “a thing” about his tooth brush and always hated setting it down in the medicine cabinet or exposing it in a toothbrush holder. With the small wire sculpture I had made he could set his toothbrush in by the handle allowing the bristles to dry without touching anything or being exposed to the open bathroom holder. OK, great Idea, now I have “a thing” about my toothbrush. In fact, now I wish everybody did. Need a toothbrush holder that allows your brush to air dry in your medicine cabinet? I know where you can get one custom made, similar to the one pictured, but unique to your needs. Your brush, your cabinet, for as many brushes as you like. Order one today.
