Earlier this year, I received lots of help in learning to spangle bobbins. The bobbins I have are heavier and thicker than the *usual* midland bobbins but they were drilled for spangles and had been part of the wonderful stash of lace supplies I bought so I got them all spangled. They do look pretty clunky so I thought I should have some skinny Midland bobbins as well. I still have a couple of pillows that don't have anything on them so.....
Recently I got to spend the morning at a lace day in Kent Washington and I bought [among other things] some "fancy Midlands" unfinished bobbins. I figured getting them spangled would be easy enough but now I need to finish them first. I bought some water soluble acrylic paint with mixable colours by "FolkArt". I have tested the paints on a few pairs but then started to wonder if I have the right kind of paints. What does everyone uses to paint their bobbins? I also bought some water soluble outdoor gloss sealer that I thought I could put on after the paint dries. Have I just bought a bunch of great paints to pass along to friend's little kids or are these suitable for using on my bobbins?
