When I first started to experiment with my rubber stamps (a decade ago) one of my favorite finds was Pearl Ex. This magic powder was used in a special technique and I searched for a collection of Pearl Ex to add to my rubber stamping tool box. Happily, Michael's Craft store sold a kit and I used my coupon to purchase a great starter collection.
I am so pleased to announce that Pearl Ex will be a daily staple in my my RESIN tool box!
I have been using pearl ex powders to colour my resin....but now I have many new reasons to get my powders set up front and centre in the studio.
Pearl Ex is manufactured by Jacquard. Jacquard Pearl Ex is a safe, pearlescent, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability, ideal for interior and archival applications. It has a use for every artist, from watercolorist to auto painter, faux finisher to rubber stamper.
They have a brand new blog which I have linked to and you'll be seeing numerous posts this year linking to their site.
I want to take this opportunity to THANK THEM for sending me enough powder to last a lifetime! They are also providing me with Pearl Ex for my classes at the Craft and Hobby show. I am so happy to be working with them in 2013!
Thank you so much for the nice post! We are very excited to see all of the fun new projects you come up with!
