  • A friend of mine has it and I did try it out. For me I didn’t care for it. I felt a lack of control. I just prefer a cosmetic sponge and plain old sand paper. But it might just be perfect for someone else who does a different type of work. My friend works on stretched canvas and does like it. It’s a matter of personal preference.
    I love that you are showing new tools and techniques. I look forward to seeing your blog in my inbox and wondering what you’ll be showing us next.

  • I love that you just let us watch you try it and play along, we can learn from what you tried. I was thinking of stenciling the upper walls in my bathroom and I think this might be good for doing a large space with a stencil. Thanks, Jinx

  • Please keep those product reviews coming, Julie. They are really informative! I agree with your assessment of this tool – interesting and kinda fun, but not “jump in my car and buy it right now” necessary!

  • Interesting tool! Seems like something that would just take up space for me, but I imagine crafters with arthritis would really love it to help save their hand strength for more intricate work.
