Where do you buy glitter?
 
I am look for ultra fine glitter that is not in the regular ol' primary colors. Where can I find it. Online or Stores in So Cal. Thanks for the help.

I love the stacks SU had but they don't carry them anymore. You may find someone with a retired stack they would sell.

When all else fails I use Dazzling Diamonds since you can see the color through it, but do love my colors from last year.
I wonder if pennywise arts has any? I know she has a ton of beads and has wonderful customer service-maybe there?

okay-I checked pennywise and don't see any
But did a google search and kept seeing the "Stampendous" brand-I think they carry that at craft stores.
It seemed to have a lot of colors but I have not used it, maybe that helps a little.

I have always purchased mine at Michael's in SoCal. I have some pale pink, pale green, lavendar and the multi that I purchased at Mike's. HTH

I stopped using glitter because of the mess I always make. I now use Stickles glitter glue that comes in quite a few colors including a beautiful copper. I don't make quite as much of a mess now because the Stickles bottle has a fine applicator tip. I found them at my local stamping store, Rubber Chicken---catchy name huh?

Try looking here for lots of colors

I own a couple of sets of ultrafine transparent and ultrafine opaque glitter from Art Institute. I bought some from a stamp store, but their choice was limited. So. . . I went to the source. It is the best glitter I have ever found. (I do love Dazzling Diamonds and actually wonder if it is from Art Institute.) You will not be disappointed, and their customer service is top notch.

The link below will lead you to a page that shows all their different types. A year or so ago, they even came out with old-fashioned real ground glass glitter. Their glitter comes in at least 60 colors. I have a set of 40 transparents and a set of 18 pearlescents. I also own some individual bottles of opaque. Each gives the same project a totally different look.

Go have fun! :lol:

Oh, I stand corrected. I just looked at the individual glitters page and it says they have over 375 colors! I think that is taking into account each color available in each type of glitter.

And the pictures do not do it justice. Many of the "colors" consist of multiple colors in one jar. They are spectacular. :shock:

Glitter
 
Thanks for the great info! I didnt know that dazzling diamonds showed the color through. I just bought some and will have to try it. But, I am going to do a little shopping too. Thanks for the websites.

I'm a DD JUNKIE! I don't buy anything else!

I just love the Stampendous brand I got from Meijer, which is a local chain I believe. But, you could check out http://www.stampendous.com/stores.fdr/castate.html for dealers that carry their products in CA!

If you buy me plane fair, I might bring some glitter to share, I have lavender, light green, frost, and light blue so far.
