What Customers Say

Hi Lou Ann, This is the best product that I’ve found to use for backing for my glass mosaic house numbers that I make. It is lightweight, I can gesso it and draw my design right on it. I can use tacks to keep the glass tight and in place also, so no shifting. Thanks so much for making a fine product. You have a lifetime customer.

Lou Ann, I love the Skeewpicks. They are much better than what I have been using for years. I keep them all together in the box so I do not misplace them in my studio.
