tool crazy
planishing (aka baby chasing)
large embossing (aka river rock & stone)
small embossing (aka sand & pebble)
narrow-raising (aka twig & branch)
wide-raising (aka trunk & tree)

i go crazy for tools and all the doo-dads that go with my many hobbies. beading and jewelry feed my insatiable desire to collect, as well as create.
at the bead and button show in milwaukee this past june, i picked up a set of fretz hammers from janice berkebile's table. they are smaller-sized jeweler's hammers, smooth and rich in your hands, perfectly balanced, beautifully made... they are used for texturing metal.
recently, i was able to find a stand (made expressly for these fretz hammers) at progress tool.
ahhhh, life is good.
