Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by Jenny.
Yeah, I’m crafting like a fiend these days…and my latest crafty play date and resulting review is on a vacuum-powered hot-fix crystal setter by Viva-Decor called the “Glitz-Up.” While I loved the idea, but it had a few issues. It didn’t knock my socks off, but still it’s a pretty cool tool.

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by Jenny.
I’ve got a crafty household, and my kids like crafting, too- especially my 5-year-old daughter, who put Bendaroos at the top of her Christmas list. I wasn’t so sure this would be a successful product for a pre-Kindergartner, but as it turns out, the are AWESOME. Let’s discuss, shall we?
Despite my hesitancy, we got these [...]

Ice Ice (Resin), Baby!
Posted on 15. Feb, 2010 by Jenny.
Ok, only a few of you will actually get the Vanilla Ice reference in the title- but I couldn’t resist! Today I’m talking about Ice Resin, a 2-part epoxy resin that is jewelry grade. The beautiful people at Objects and Elements told me it will never yellow, and the best part is that it’s labeled [...]

Craft Product Review: Loctite Super Glue Brush-On
Posted on 06. Nov, 2009 by Jenny.
Technically, “Super Glue” isn’t a craft product….unless you’re crafty. If you are, you know how important it is to have a variety of adhesives/glues that you can depend on to keep your crafts held together & lookin’ good. And one of my faves is Loctite brand super-glue.
First of all, the reason I bought it was [...]

Craft Product Review: Tilano Fresco Tile Kit
Posted on 16. Oct, 2009 by Jenny.
I love photo crafts, so I when Tilano Decorative Products offered to send me a kit to try, I said, “Yes, yes, YES!” I had seen these online, but not in retail stores, and I was itching for a closer look.
Opening the box, I found a rather daunting array of supplies. Mud? Check. Crackle medium? [...]

Magic Glos Addendum
Posted on 07. Nov, 2008 by Jenny.
I decided to try out Lisa Pavelka’s Magic Glos today on a polymer clay pendant I’m working on. I spread out the material, being careful to use enough product so that the edges wouldn’t pull back. Happy with my progress, I set it under the UV lamp that I bought from her. I clicked on [...]

Craft Product Review: Magic Glos by Lisa Pavelka
Posted on 15. Sep, 2008 by Jenny.
I’ve been playing around with my bottle cap jewelry, and the question of what to put on top has perplexed me. I like Diamond Glaze, but it’s really only good for a thin layer. I wanted something more dimensional and shiny, something more glass like.
I played around with using melted UTEE, but at the [...]

Product Review: Dremel “Stylus” for Crafting
Posted on 13. Aug, 2008 by Jenny.
I got a new favorite tool in my studio – it’s the Dremel Stylus rotary tool. I had a traditional Dremel, and used it when I had to. I found that it’s thick barrel made it difficult for me to hold and drill with accurately. The folks at Dremel seemed to have read my mind [...]
