For my own threads, I generally prefer to wind a center-pull ball on a nostepinne (although, most of the time my "notstepinne" is whatever pencil is handy).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190556099420613575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-8329416527606725012012-05-27T11:06:12.864-05:002012-05-27T11:06:12.864-05:00Thanks, Donna!

I will be painting my first linen this afternoon. Thank you. This is a great technique to use up some of the solid colors that need more texture.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277620120938925593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-36928983438059632752012-05-20T11:53:59.994-05:002012-05-20T11:53:59.994-05:00thanks - I think I am going to go play with it!thanks - I think I am going to go play with it!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036969570662029039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-44414589071634932982012-05-20T10:02:44.282-05:002012-05-20T10:02:44.282-05:00I've done the technique with just one or the o...I've done the technique with just one or the other, and it works. But In my experience, the adhesion quality is better in gloss than matte, but gloss is shinier and more plastic-looking than I want. By mixing the two, I get sort of a satin finish with very good adhesion. <br /><br />And like I say in the video, I've done this technique with cheap craft paint straight out of the bottle and paint pens as well as artist acrylics and acrylic medium. I'd say sample whatever acrylic paint product you have on hand because it's liable to work just fine!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190556099420613575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-53940957390672703092012-05-18T09:51:25.798-05:002012-05-18T09:51:25.798-05:00Great video!

I am thinking I would like to try this for coiling on a gourd! thanksKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036969570662029039noreply@blogger.com
