Incredibly versatile product!
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 lustre 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. NOT for cosmetic use.
