Aphrodite Natural Sponges - Natural sponges (like brushes) are much better to use than synthetic ones since natural sponges not only hold water and color between their fibers, but absorb water into the fiber itself. Plus with a host of sizes and textures to choose from there is a wealth of creative avenues that no artist should ever pass up. Our sponges are harvested in Greece under strict control to make them free from any contaminates. In order to keep our prices down we offer our sponges in value packs.
