Just a minor correction. I squeeze a bit of paint out of the tube and use the paint right from the tube nozzle.. The eyes on the Froggies are round plastic head pins from the sewing dept. I put the dots on the pins for the eyes. I can go as many as four colors in one eye. I do put the paint on the foam for the Spring Peepers.
Now about your eyes, they are great and work like a charm. You use the same slick paint as I do. They were a hit at the Salt Lake City Show.

We talked about this before but I will chime in again.
Tony uses the paint on his foam frogs he dips a a tip in the paint then
onto the foam.
I use the paint to make my own 3-d eyes. I use a coffee can lid as my plate.
I make little pools of the colored paint, copper would be great, white, chartreuse,
pearl, silver glitter etc. I tap the lid to make the pools settle. Then I add a small
pupil of black tulip paint and tap again. This is a vinyl paint when it dries you can peel the eyes
off the plastic lid and glue them with super glue gel onto your streamer pattern.
This paint can also be applied directly to streamer bodies like E-Z SHAPE SPARKLE BODY
or for ant bodies, beetle bodies, etc.

Morning folks,
A friend of mine gave me some tubes of Fabric Paint, "Tulip Slick" in
particular. They thought that I could possible use it in my fly tying. Is
anyone familiar with this product? Can it be thinned? Some of them seamed to
have "stiffened" up a bit and need to be thinned and mixed again. Not sure
if they are salvageable yet or not. Also have one tube of copper colored
glitter. There are 12 colors so it has possibility, just not sure what yet.
Any suggestions?
Jimi
