I think I've turned into a press HO.

Not the media kind, the brass kind.   These coins are an awesome focal size, and I love the challenge of getting just the right amount of decorated glass into just the right shape before smashing it into something else entirely. 


I love the versatility of this shape ~ It is excellent for necklaces and bracelets and wire wrapping and bead embroidery and baking cupcakes!  I've listed a few over at StudioJuls, and now I think I'll head out to the shiny shack and sweat off 5 more lbs so that when you do get around to baking those cupcakes I can have 1 or 14 of them. 

Yum.

    I have a love/hate thing going on with presses. I've been on quite a long "hate" phase. After the smash, if it isn't perfect, I start swearing. And that's weird because I am NOT a perfectionist, by any means.
    I guess that's why I've been holding off on the bead rollers. Probably just provoke more swearing.
    Those beads of yours are killer, btw.

    It's ok, you can be a bead-making ho and i will be a bead-buying ho and we will all live happily ever after. LOVE those beads, by the way, esp the tribal turq one

    If that's the worst kind of Ho you can be then I think you are doing just fine! I can see why you are loving that press so much!!
