They call it a "wax writer." It's fun to use and you can create all sort of interesting shapes and dots using this tool.Susan -https://www.blogger.com/profile/13340676857107333636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097459156490873070.post-64337896519051874092011-05-01T18:42:11.558-07:002011-05-01T18:42:11.558-07:00I just found you through etsy!
