Glassline Pen Assortment by Nancy D on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
This worked best for me with a brush, as paint. I painted a wash on a white piece of glass and layered a clear piece with flowers, landscape, etc. It was 3D and awesome! I also painted on fusible paper (dogs) and was happy with that, fused between clear glass.
Cons
I'd prefer a standard cap option, since the little caps don't stay on well and the "paint" dries.
Other Thoughts
The range of colors is great.

Medium Sterling Silver Plated Jewelry Bails - 25 Pack by Nancy D on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
These bails look great on a variety of glass designs. They give the necklace a finished, elegant touch.
Cons
The right glue must be used to make the attachment permanent, but that's consistent with all glass projects.

Glassline Pen Mini Assortment by Maret W on December 31, 2008 4 stars
Pros
Good color saturation, and a nice addition to palette of materials for fusing. I made tapa design dishes where I drew designs on top and between layers of glass. On top, it creates a matte accent.
Cons
Difficult to hold & squeeze consistently to create uniform lines, made my hand cramp up when drawing an intricate design.
Other Thoughts
"Paint" would be a more appropriate name than "pen".

Primo Primer Kiln Wash - 1-1/2 lb by CCCreations (top contributor) on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
Mixes well. When wet is slightly purple, dries white so you know where you have put your wash. Layers well. Lasts long.
Cons
No complaints.
Other Thoughts
Have not ever used another wash before.

Glastar Super Star II Grinder by BevFranks on December 31, 2008 4 stars
Pros
I purchased this grinder 2.5 years ago and it shows no signs of wear and tear. It is stable, has enough power for my hobbyist use and is meeting my expectations. Would recommend it.
Cons
The bit that came with it developed bare spots after a year or so but not sure if that's due to user inexperience, normal life expectancy or just not a very good bit.

Bullseye Clear, Cobalt Streaky - 90 COE by wallydel on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
As always, Bullseye glass is gorgeous! This streaky in cobalt blue fires to a deep blue with swirls and layers of clear. It is truly beautiful. I use it in my fused glass work creating earrings, pendants and plateware, but I'm sure it would be great for any number of applications, especially stained glass.
Cons
No cons to this one.

5-1/4" x 3-3/4" Oval Soap Dish Mold by Smokeylady54 on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
Lovely shape,and nice deep groves.
Cons
I am new to cutting glass and the shape is a little hard to cut.
Other Thoughts
I am sure once I get the cutting part down, everyone in my family is going to have a soap dish to match the colors of there bathrooms.

Two-In-One Shears by Sara B on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
For those of us with very little space to work in, items like this are a great buy. Not to mention that they are less costly than getting 2 sets of shears.
Cons
Since these don't come in a case, it's a good idea to pick up a case or organizer so your other shear half doesn't wander off.

Diamond Max 2 In 1 Grinder by Sara B on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
I got this grinder as a gift and it's really the best I've ever used. More uses than many other grinders in the same price range. The flat disk is perfect for ensuring your boxes fit together flawlessly and it also makes those strait strips level with very little effort.
Cons
No cons to speak of.
Other Thoughts
Comes with an AWESOME warranty. The disk and bit run at the same time, so there's no need to switch between the two. This really is a grinder that does it all, perfect for the home hobbiest and a great value.

Layout Block Bundle by Sara B on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
These blocks are super easy to use and ensure you never have a crooked piece again.
Cons
Obviously only work for square panels. I wish they made some adjustable round blocks.
Other Thoughts
It's worth the money to get some of the additional bundles for those really big projects.

Diamond Max 2 In 1 Grinder by kelliejp2 on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
Great grinder. I use it all the time.
Cons
When I need to switch from using the router bit to the disc, I find I need to either turn the grinder box 180 degrees or take off the router bit so that I can turn the top platform around. Would be nice if was easier to switch between the 2.

White Pastel Opaque 1/4 lb Bundle - 104 COE by KarenKeyse on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
This glass is great. It is a basic staple in the color pallet. I use it layered under most of my transparent glasses to make them pop.
Cons
No negatives I can think of here.

Hot Head Torch Head by KarenKeyse on December 31, 2008 5 stars
Pros
Can make beautiful beads and is great for beginners.
Cons
Once you discover flameworking glass is for you, will need to upgrade to do more advance techniques or to use reduction glasses.
Other Thoughts
Perfect for beginners to try flameworking without a huge investment.
