Perfect Grin?
Today I would like to ask you, which tool you use, to create a perfekt grin on your figures?
Some days ago I bought a tool which is normaly used to work with wood. But I think it is great for happy beads.
I am courious of your postings!

I use a small metal frit/seed bead scoop - you can see it laying on the gravy boat in the 2nd & 3rd pic:

For small to medium smiles I use the little side, big side for larger ones.
HTH!

Alli I have one of those, but never though about using it for moving the glass, thanks!
(I use it to put frit in for small beads sometimes)
