The Crystal Katana has arrived at John Bead!

Those of you who follow the amazing work of the Crystal Ninja know that she uses a lot of crystals in her work.  Here is how Award-Winning Master Designer Kellie DeFries describes the Crystal Katana:

“Do you use regular beeswax, but too soft, leaves residue? Tweezers cramp your hands and fling crystals across the room? Do other china markers/grease pens break, chip, and leave extra residue on crystals? Have you noticed the taller, sharper table facet of the gorgeous #2058 Swarovski Elements shredding other pickers and tips to smithereens?  Me too. My answer to this madness, The Patent Pending, Crystal Katana.”
