<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4097930, member: 13464"]sure! I suppose the other item it "might" be is a fancy 2 prong pickle fork with the tines broken off. However, the paint looks like it is water soluable (hmmm is that how that is spelled) - and a pickle fork probably would have permanent paint. Lace bobbins typically had paint that would dissolve if they got wet!</p><p><br /></p><p>YIKES! Memories of demonstrating out in the park one lovely summer day when a BIG, very sudden windstorm came across the lake and flattened every tent in the park (art show)... pottery went crashing, glass went crashing, tables got upended! My friend and I were both using our antique bobbins with soluable paint! YIKES! Talk about a mad rush to get them undercover! And just that quickly, it was over! But, everyone was in ankle deep water by then, SOPPED to the skin! Fortunately we didn't have any wares for sale and managed to get our "things" under cover - but she show was literally "a wash"... everyone packed up and went home. I kid you not; ONE block from the park the road was dry! Crazy!</p><p><br /></p><p>LOL! Sometimes I'm glad I'm not demonstrating any more! </p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
