Pigment Powders - Metallic Accent Pigment Powders for Gourds and Other Crafts

Pure pigment accent powders add a metallic sheen to your projects without added filler or dyes.

These translucent powders can be used with most water based products including Memories Chalk and Dye inks, Jacquard Neopaque paints, Jo Sonja Polyurethane varnish, a protective wax such as Minwax natural and more. The best part is they clean up with soap and water.

How to use the Metallic Accent Pigment Powders

Using these powders is easy and you can achieve an exquisite metallic sheen. Experimenting is half the fun of using theses pure pigment powders. You can adjust the amount of the metallic sheen by adding more or less powder. The powders are non-toxic and clean up with soap and water.

You can use these powders mixed with other mediums but if you choose to use them without one it's best to use it with the stamp and stick heat activated glue so it has a binding agent to adhere to the surface. Most people have found that the lighter powders show up better when used with the black stamp and stick heat-activated glue but some of the deeper powders work well with the white stamp and stick heat-activated glue.

These are some of the great ways you can use these wonderful powders:

Using a small spatula or craft mixing stick combine some powder in a palette cup or paper plate with your favorite color Memories Chalk Inks or Memories Dye Inks. Apply to the gourd or other material with a sponge applicator, brush or other applicator and then heat set with an embossing heat tool.
Experiment by mixing the powders with various color inks to come up with a unique custom color palette...like I said before experimenting is half the fun of using these powders. Try using complimentary colors of ink and powder and then try a dark ink with a lighter color powder, the combinations are limited by your imagination!
Mix the powders with your favorite water-based paint such as the Neopaque acrylic paints and apply to the gourd or other material with a brush or other applicator.
Apply stamp and stick heat activated glue to the surface and heat set for 10-20 seconds until the glue is tacky. Apply some powder over the glue with a soft brush and then gently wipe off excess powder with a cloth.
You can even mix the powders with Jo Sonja Polyurethane varnish and apply directly to the gourd or other material.
Be sure to apply a varnish such as Jo Sonja Polyurethane varnish over the powders when you are finished.

Excess Shipping and Handling on Small Items

Unfortunately I cannot customize the shipping, handling and insurance charges to accommodate small, lightweight items such as woodburning pens, cords, etc. Please check out my shipping policy for information on refunds for excess shipping and handling. In the past I have been doing manual invoices for people but it has become very time consuming on both ends so I am asking you to go ahead and order online. Once I process the order and shipping I will refund any excess charges through pay pal.

BEST SELLER

These metallic accent pigment powders are amazing. Unlike other pigment powders they are non-toxic and do not contain fillers or dyes so they will not flake off the surface.

The powders do need a medium to bind it to the surface so if you are not planning on mixing with another medium such as Memories inks or varnish use the stamp and stick heat-activated glue.

PRICE: $2.70

Notice about the color swatches:

Color swatches are approximations. Actual color may vary slightly. Because Memories chalk & dye ink are semi-transparent the colors will vary based on the color gourd or other material it is used on.

	Palette Stamp and Stick Glue Pad Kit Contains Glue pad & 1/2 oz. Refill Bottle - White It is a white (clear), heat-activated adhesive solution for applying metal leaf, glitter, metallic pigments, embossing, accent or chalk powders or to a rubber stamped image. Create dynamic effects for scrapbooks, cards, home decor items, gourd art and so many other applications. The Stamp and Stick Glue is suitable for all types of surfaces. You can apply this glue to the Stamp & Stick Glue Pad, applicator cubes or you can use it with a paint brush for intricate areas. Use the refill replace your depleted glue on your applicator cube. You must heat set the glue with a embossing heat tool until the glue is no longer shiny (about 10-20 seconds), it will be sticky to accept your dry mediums. This is the NO MUSS, NO FUSS way. The glue pad in the kit comes wet with glue and just use the refill when the glue has been used up on the pad. Tips for using the glue: 1. FYI: when the directions say heat until tacky...it actually means heat to activate. I have found that it is virtually impossible to overheat it; you're more likely to burn your paper. However, this also means that it must be heat set all the way. Any patches of wet ink will cause whatever media you apply to it, to smear. 2. When you're working with gold leaf, pearl powders and chalks, we have found that these can be applied to a variety of surfaces. The gold leaf looks especially brilliant on black linen paper, but it can also be used on glass, gourds, plastic, a leather picture album, finished and un-finished wood. 3. Glitter, however must be used on a non-porous surface. Of all the media that we are talking about, glitter is the one that wants to stick the least. It needs that extra oomph, if you will, to hold. 4. So, when starting, stamp your image with the glue pad or applicator cube and heat to activate. This usually takes between 20-30 seconds, depending on the size of the image. When done, check to make sure that there aren't any spots of wet ink, and then apply your media.
