Default I need help finding . . . .

I need help in finding the mini leaf mashers - I have searched in all the suppliers that I can think of. I was sure I saw them available somewhere. Really small mashers with veins cut in to approximate a leaf. They would look great with the flowers made with the Carlo Dona Bellflower press.

I am also looking for a masher that would give me a "fin" look for a fish. Someone once told me where to get one, but of course I didn't write it down, and now I can't remember!! I know I can use a pair of round nose pliers, but I want it to be a little more exacting than that.

Well, I got as far as the shipping, only to find that on a $58.00 order, the shipping would be $36.00. I don't need the items that badly.

I'd call them. The price they show on the their website is an estimate and they will refund any overage.

devardi glass has the best tools~ they have the best leaf mashers and textured fins. I have a bunch of them and they are cheap too! get the leaf square mashers, not the leaf shaped ones as those don't show the veins very well.

Devardi for the WIN! Great tools at great prices! I love my marble mold and claws I got from them recently. Their tools have large comfy grips as well!

you can always leave a note with your order to arrow springs to ship in a small flat rate box, I just did that and got my order fairly fast. They will refund the difference in shipping.

I am in Canada - so perhaps that is why the shipping is so expensive. I will contact them and see if there is a cheaper way to ship.
