I'm in Tool Lust.
I saw this Carlo Dona tool called a "Spoons Crimp" and I fell in love. I know that somehow I need it, but not sure exactly for what.
The spoon itself is 1 1/16" which is too large for ears , but might make a dandy base for bowls and other roundish items. (where was it when I was making my cereal/noodle bowl in my previous post?)
I just don't have the extra $189.00 plus shipping for it.....yet.
I think I need to contemplate this tool and his other crimps a little more and find a way to justify it in my mind as to why I really, truly need it. And perhaps I don't. It could be a figment of my imagination, which could be a relief also.
If you want to look at more of the beautifully made tools by master tool maker Carlo Dona from Italy, visit www.spiralarts.com and feel free to drool along with me.
And if you have suggestions as to how I can use it, please feel free to post those too.
OK Marcy - that is one very cool looking tool!
ReplyDeleteI just peeked at his crimps & the ohhhh so drool worthy brass optic molds as well.
You could use that spoon crimp to make bases for smaller bobble heads & such. Making hat crowns to build brims on & decorate would be fun!
Alrighty! no more tools - okay!! LOL - I'll only ever be able to lust over them!! It looks like it has great potential - if I think of any ideas I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteOff to looksie at your Etsy shop - right now one little seahorse has caught my attention.
Later
What a great tool!
ReplyDeleteYour beads are fabulous.
drool. drool.
ReplyDeleteSwear I thought those were nesting measuring spoons and you were maybe thinking of baking?
ReplyDeleteLOL I love tools
Surely they make measuring spoons you would put to the test first.
Hope you are feeling better.
I love tools a lot too. And sometimes I buy things I have no clue what to do with, but then, one day I woke up and ... here it is - THE IDEA! And then I am glad I have exactly the desired tool.
ReplyDeleteI am sure, that you will find a very good usage for it :-)).
