Question Tribal mask brass press?

I seem to recall that I saw (and talked to someone about buying) a tribal mask brass press on here. It was a very elongated face mask. I can't seem to find one now, though. Does this actually exist or did I make the whole thing up?

Think it sold to someone. Artco sells them. Made by Weaver Industries.
Look under 3D Push molds-Graphite.I finally found who carries them.
Hope this helps.

Aha! That was it! Thanks Janet!

But now....I need to know what I am to do with a push mold? Can I make a bead out of that or is it exclusively off-mandrel? And how does one fill it?

Hmmm, well I was going to use my as a bead too. I would put a gather on the end of a metal mandrel putty and push it into the mold.

I have one, it's been in the package since I got it. It's huge! I honestly don't know what to do with it.

edit to add, I can add a photo next to a coin for comparison if you'd like. Or maybe it's just me that's afraid of a huge push mold...
