"Verpassen Sie nicht dieses charmant-exzentrische Buch von Edward Carey, von der berühmten Madame Tussaud selbst erzählt, über ihr merkwürdiges Leben und ihre Zeit, einschließlich der auch für sie beinahe tödlichen Französischen Revolution, der Hauptsaison für Köpfe!" Margaret Atwood 1761 wird ein winziges Mädchen namens Marie Grosholtz im Elsass geboren. Nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern wird sie Gehilfin des exzentrischen Wachsbildners Doktor Curtius in Bern, der sie mit nach Paris nimmt, wo sie mit der dominanten Witwe Picot und ihrem stillen Sohn Edmond in einem leerstehenden Affenhaus Quartier beziehen. Sobald sie das Gebäude in einen Ausstellungsraum für Wachsfiguren und Wachsköpfe verwandelt haben, wird ihr Handwerk zur Sensation und führt Marie bis an den Königshof in Versailles. Das Geschäft mit den Wachsköpfen berühmter und berüchtigter Zeitgenossen, großer Philosophen und notorischer Verbrecher blüht. Doch in Paris werden die Paläste gestürmt und das Volk verlangt nach Köpfen ? genau das, was die Wachsbildner liefern! Der zauberhafte, mit vielen Zeichnungen Careys versehene, feinsinnige und lebenspralle Roman erzählt die abenteuerliche Geschichte der Frau, die als Madame Tussaud zu Weltruhm gelangte: Eine unschuldig-weise kleine Madame Courage zwischen Philosophen und Häftlingen, Helden und Schurken, die sie allesamt in Wachs zu fassen vermochte.

Just As Good As Cricut- Half the Cost
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I had a Cricut mini press, but my mother loved it for her quilting so much that I had given it to her. I learned after that it was a mistake as I used it more than I had realized. When looking back at the price, I could not justify almost $40, so I waited. I have been a user of HTVRONT's other products for years, so I finally gave it a chance. The package came with the mini press neatly resting in a fine quality box, where it is easy to store. It feels sturdy and well made without any weird smells. It has a nice weight to it, but not too heavy. It evenly distributed heat making it easy to apply the HTV onto my project. I was able to easily use it on felt and cotton. I actually prefer it has a dial for temperatures rather than buttons like the cricut. 10/10 would recommend.

High Recommend!!!
Color: Mint
This mini heat press packs a lot of heat! It’s very easy to use and it’s light weight. I use it for my crochet projects when ironing patches on. The silicon holder didn’t burn when resting the mini machine on it either. This is a pretty sturdy mini press and I am very happy with my purchase.

Tumbler and mug heat press
Style: Purple-30oz
Easy to set up and operate, heats up fast, and works beautifully. I sublimated 2 coffee mugs and they came out nice. It came with a small package of sublimation paper, heat tape, and a pair of very small heat-proof gloves. Gloves are needed to handle hot items, so you may want to get a larger pair. I have small hands and they barely fit me. But the heat press works perfectly.
