A couple of days ago, I wrote about how scrapbook supply items such as powdered pigments and alcohol inks can be used for making<\/span> polymer clay beads. As mentioned in that article, Using Alcohol Ink With Polymer Clay<\/a>, I received some new craft supplies as Christmas presents this year (go figure).<\/em> One of those gifts was a 12 color set of Jacquard Products, Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments<\/a>\"\".<\/span><\/p>\n

This set is absolutely gorgeous! The mica powders just sparkle and there is a wonderful wide range of colors. Along with the metallics like copper, silver and gold, there are lots of blues, greens, pinks and purples to make the set very versatile!<\/span><\/p>\n

Pearl Ex can be dusted or rubbed onto raw polymer clay with either your finger or a fluffy paintbrush. A small makeup brush used for powders is also a good choice since the powder is loose and very fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Powdered pigments like these can also be added to liquid clays, polymer clay compatible lacquers and future floor finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

They can also be worked into solid clays like translucent. As well, they can be added to metallic clays to boost the mica content for techniques such as Mica Shift.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments are often used in polymer clay techniques such as rubber stamping. faux ceramic beads, faux enamel beads, and faux raku beads. BTW: I am currently working on a faux raku bead technique that is different from any other raku technique I have seen out there, so you can look forward to that!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are looking for a new craft supply to add to your studio that will help you to make lots of really cool looking polymer clay beads, think about purchasing some Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments<\/a>\"\" . This product will definitely bring a little sparkle to your jewelry projects.<\/span><\/p>\n
