Jacquard’s Pearl-Ex creates a metallic look without being
a toxic metal. The different particle sizes produce different
looks – from a fine, smooth, pearly luster to a highly
metallic sheen. This safe, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment
is extremely color fast and stable – it will not tarnish
nor fade and is therefore ideal for archival applications. It
can be mixed into any viscous medium and applied to any surface.
Mix it into oil, acrylic, gouache, varnish, clay, melted wax
and so on. It can also be spread dry on porous surfaces. Use
it on clay, glass, metal, wood, paper, fabric or gourds.
1. |
Mix
Pearl-Ex with a clear embossing powder for rubber stamp
embossing. Pearl-Ex in itself is not an embossing powder. |
2. |
Interference
colors work best over dark surfaces. |
3. |
Mix
4 parts Pearl-Ex to 1 part Gum Arabic and add water to desired
consistency for a watercolor paint. If mixing in a plastice
well palette, this mixture can dry out and become reconstituted
with water. |
4. |
Dust
Pearl-Ex Powders onto shrink plastic before shrinking. The
powder will become embedded in the surface when the plastic
shrinks. |
5. |
Dust
a polymer clay rubber mold with Pearl Ex before pressing
in the clay. This is a great way to color the clay. It also
makes the clay easier to release from the mold. |
6. |
Mix
Pearl Ex with the Jacquard Colorless Extender for use on
fabrics. Heat set as directed on bottle. |
7. |
Mix
Pearl Ex with any clear medium to use over any surface.
For example, you can mix Pearl Ex with a varnish, acrylic
or solvent-based, as a coating over clay, wood, or paper. |
8. |
Dust
Pearl Ex onto any surface and then seal with a spray lacquer.
Spray the lacquer out over the surface and let the mist
fall onto the surface rather than spraying the lacquer at
the surface. This will give you a more even coat of lacquer
without spray marks as well as preventing the spray from
blowing off the Pearl Ex. |
9. |
Knead
dry Pearl Ex powder into polymer clay to color it. |
10. |
Pearl
Ex can be mixed into glycerin soaps in soapmaking and wax
for candlemaking. |
11. |
Pearl
Ex can be mixed into a medium and airbrushed. Some testing
will be necessary to ensure that the particle size will
fit through the airbrush opening. |
