Found them in daughters art box

When you hold it up to light it glows like claret hackles m8.

Maybe this pic will bring the pink up more, it does glow a bit.

Interesting what you can find in these things, well i suppose when you see what im doing with them,pink elephants and jack frost....get some good stuff from arts and craft shops though, gold wire ,copper wire any wire really that will last for years cheap too,feathers, foam,tinsel, beads,threads all sorts of stuff useful for tying....well worth visiting these places good value too.
