Why I Shouldn't Be Left Alone- Part 1

OK, I had a little money in my PayPal account and these tools have been calling to me for months.

"Buy us, Theresa. Buy us, and you will be so happy."

Normally I would say that things don't bring happiness. But the tools were RIGHT!

I AM so happy.

These are called Colour Shapers and they were originally meant to be a texturizing tool for paint. One could use them to sort of push the paint into different areas. Very cool.

I bought them, however, because they looked as though they would be easy to move across polymer clay.

I wanted something that could smooth as it goes. I also wanted something that could easily push, pull and move the clay.

BINGO! These are great.

I bought a whole set of #2 in firm.

I was worried that "firm" would be too stiff, but it is perfect. I think "soft" wouldn't be as useful.

If you can only buy one of the set, I would suggest the taper point, as it seems to be the most multi-purpose of the bunch.

Dick Blick had a really good price. Compare there before buying from another artist site.

This is one of the "THINGS" that I made.

You know it's bad when my husband comes in and asks me, "What IS that"?

and I reply, "Gee, I have no idea. It just sort of came out."

Husband shakes head and walks away.

Yep, that about sums it up.

Now the question is, what DO I do with him?

Until next time, happy new tool trying!
