Just wondering if anyone in the UK has found and used a milk paint supplier? I have found a couple of places that sell it in powder form but I’ve not used either of them before:

http://www.beautifullyboho.co.uk/miss-mustard-seed-milk-paint/Rutlands sell pre-mixed milk paint but it seems incredibly expensive compared to the powdered stuff:

The milk paint powder from the blueberry store is excellent
Might have to give it a try. I’ve seen different vendors and recipes suggesting different mixing techniques but can’t find anything on their site about how they suggest to do it. Do they give specific mixing instructions? Miss Mustard Seed has a whole bunch of videos on different techniques and finishes so I’m interested in seeing how they compare.

See if this helps, It’s the same paint as on blueberry site. All mixing Instructions are also on the bags.

The Old Fashioned Milk Paint available from Blueberry Store is the same paint that Paul got directly from the supplier, so would definitely recommend it. Paul mentioned milk paint on his blog quite a few times recently. He has been experimenting with it and posted a few pictures. Worth checkin out:
