This is last month's free gift from Dolls House & Miniature Scene magazine - a pick-up pencil. Utterly great - how have I ever managed without one. Seriously. Have you ever tried to separate these fiddly metallic confetti-type things let alone (wo)man-handle them into place on a project. Et voilà! ....a pick up pencil. As you can see looks like an ordinary coloured pencil and sharpens in the same way but it has a bit of a tacky 'lead'. Exactly the right amount of tacky - it picks up and releases just as you want it to. I suppose when it gets grubby you just sharpen in. I will be distraught when it becomes a stub - I hope it sees me out.
What an interesting tool! :D
ReplyDeleteYup, if you see one - get one, recommend it.

Hi Em! I looks like this could be the greatest invention since sliced bread!

Never heard of it, but looks really interesting! Will check my local store when I have time.
ReplyDeleteI promise you it really works much better than tweezers for this sort of thing.
