Title: How easy is a Zoozii crystal press to use?
Post by: Blue Box Studio on May 20, 2011, 03:50:58 PM
Before I invest, how easy is this one to use  - one of the harder ones, one of the easier?  I like the shape but don't want to buy something I'll struggle with if it's too faffy.  Any thoughts?  Thx.

I find it reasonably easy - make bead - press - put blobs on to define points - press.  Done.  :)

I use Maria Louisa's and find it fine - you're always going to have to compromise a little on getting the sharpest finish or getting rid of chill marks - but the shape is lovely to play with especially, if like you, you make your own jewellery.  I'd go for it!

I have found it easy to use also, it makes nice beads.
