Everyone else may already know this, but I thought I would post it anyway. I have come across projects using water colors, etc., where it was recommended to spritz the project with water. I looked everywhere for a small 1-2 oz. spray bottle with no luck. I finally found them where stores have the travel items such soap containers, etc.

The other little tip is when you work with some tiny elements, I found that I could purchase a little scissors-looking gadget that grips the tiny element until you release it. This was under $2 and I found it at the local hardware store.

Perhaps this can help someone else. This is one of my favorite web sites and I love the webisodes.:o

Thanks for the tips -- I have a small tool like that by cutter bee. I have never heard about the water though, I'll have to try that.

I have the Magic Tweezers that I just bought from PW. They're reverse tweezers, which means that they grip the item until you squeeze the handles, which is the reverse of regular tweezers. Haven't used them yet, but bought them to go with my Dazzles.

I just ordered the tweezers too, and am waiting for them to arrive. I've used some like it before, and they are very handy for putting down small items.

I have those as well, and I absolutely could not live without them, got mine from PW also. They have so many great little things in their catalogs. Seems I find something new every time I look through the book.

I have a pair but find them hard to use, I must practice. LOL Trish :)
