Title: Marble/sphere press
Post by: Rachel on July 24, 2008, 02:47:11 PM
Hi - I've seen presses for marble/sphere beads - just wondered if anyone has used them and how easy they are?  I've been practising my rounds and they are getting better but there's something about those perfectly round balls that's appealing  ;) :)

Rachel, if you don't fill up the whole pressshape the ends get nicely, it takes only a few beads of practice.

My marble press has 6 different sizes.
If you only want 'half a press' to only marver just let me know, it can be made.

Thank you for all the info guys.  Maria - I love the look of your marble press - how much would the shipping be for one press to the UK please?

Hi Rachel,
Shipments costs me € 15,17
one or two presses doesn't matter for shipmentcosts, it's both the same.
