Our most versatile product yet, pearl ex powdered pigments may be used any time a metallic or pearlescent effect is desired: mix them into acrylics, oils, printing inks, encaustics, alcohol inks, epoxy, glues, casting resins, clay, varnishes…the list goes on!
Try it mixed with gum arabic for a diy metallic calligraphy ink or watercolour, in the pearl ex varnish for working on non-porous surfaces, or mixed into one of jacquard’s colourless extenders for use on fabric.
Pearl ex is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability. The different particle sizes produce different effects, from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen.
Pearl ex creates a metallic effect without being a real metal—it will never tarnish or fade! Note: pearl ex powdered pigments were specifically developed as an art material. They are not for cosmetic use.
Fabric/fiber/surfaces polymer clay, encaustics, paper, shrink plastic, leather, glass, canvas, wood, and more! Mix with a binder to use on natural and synthetic fibres.
