I skipped last week's links due to vacation. So I'll try to make it up this week! Have you wondered why you can't find the high quality sable brushes? Now you know. One of the local club members turned me on to these tiny (and I mean tiny) LEDs. Can't wait to put them to use! Check out the full line. They have some super cool stuff. Check out this cool "third hand" tool, FixO. The Armorama review is pretty positive, so pop over and support the crowdfunding project on Indiego!
