High Quality Glitter
I have been loving glitter lately. I think I am a junky now.
Does anyone know where I can buy high quality glitter? Not stickles, martha or doodlebug I have them and like them I just want to try something different. Also maybe recommend your favorite color. Would also love to find chunky clear glitter. I saw someone use it on a card on their blog and it was beautiful (wish I could remember the blog :() Thanks for any help! Katie |
sparklensprinkle.com has great glitter! Every color imaginable. The bridal white (I think that is what it's called) covers so good. If you want to pm me I can send you a list of the ones I have. They are gorgeous!

I love Hero Arts Prisma Glitter!

I agree with Sparkle & Sprinkle http://sparklensprinkle.com/o/index.php?cPath=23
Art Institute Glitter is good too....here's 1 source: Frantic Fran: http://www.franticstamper.com/artinstitue-glitter.htm And I like DeNami's glitter for highlighting - you can get it on their site and probably others who sell DeNami's stamps: http://denamidesign.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=55 I like each of the colors for different reasons...so it really depends on how you are using it to determine the colors...I have bunches of colors but don't use it nearly enough! Good Luck! |
The best and finest glitter is German Glass Glitter...Google it and you find several places that carry it...
The sparkle can not be missed, it is real glass as fine as you can get and the colors to die for...You can also get it from American Art Glitter... |

Thank you for the suggestions and the links. I would love to try the german Glitter Glass but I have 3 dogs and a 6 year old. I would be afraid to use it.

Katie...I have used it for years and have never cut myself nor has anyone I've ever given a card too been cut from it...I do not put it on childrens cards, but other wise using it you should have no problem...I also have never pushed glitter into paper with my fingers?

I love Hero Arts Prisma Glitter for a clear, super-sparkly look. Barbara Trombley's Art Glittering System colors (which I found at a LSS) are wonderful. They are ultra-fine like Prisma.

Art Institute Glitter is GREAT! You can even use it on clothing with appropriate glue. I've used it that way, on paper, in glass ornaments, etc. See this link:
http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Rartglitter.html You might find it at a nearby LSS. |
I would like to try Art Institute Glitter. I have looked at their combo packs but there are so many of them I am more confused than ever.
Since valentines day is coming up can someone recommend a good red and a couple pinks. A dark, medium, and light pink. For Red I don't like fire engine or orangie (is that a word lol ) red more of a deep or darker red. This would be so helpful. It is so hard to tell the colors on the computer. Thanks, Katie |
another vote for Art Institute glitter:-D

7 Kids is going to be carrying the Meyer Imports Glass Glitter...From Germany...
|
I vote for Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter.... Love it! It comes in a huge variety of colors and it really sparkles!
|
The best glitter I've ever seen is from PK Glitz
http://www.pkglitz.com/ They did a demonstration at a scrapbooking convention in San Marcos that I went to this past August (or was it Sept.?). It's fabulous! |
I have been looking into German glass glitter and product info says it develops a vintage patina over time. Does anyone know if this means it tarnishes? Does this affect the sparkle?

I love the Art Institute Glitter! They have such beautiful colors and it covers very nicely. I would recommend it to anyone!

I love the Our Craft Lounge Sparkly Fluff. It's super glittery, but it's also fuzzy and soft and comes in tons of colors. I love their big chunky glitter as well. I had my nail technician use their fine glitter on my toes last summer :)

German Glass Glitter
If the brand of glass glitter says that it fades, then all shades of it will fade. The colors will seem to 'tarnish' until all color is eventually gone. But that will take quite a while, especially if you keep it out of the sun. That's why Art Glitter's german glass glitter is called 'vintage'.
I have several projects I've done that are about 5 years old and look as good as new. There is a type of glass glitter with a special coating that prevents it from fading if you can find it but expect to pay for it! Even after fading it will continue to sparkle, glass glitter has a great look to it. I just love it all! |
I'm not much help... I'm a stickle-fanatic. Once I found stickles there was no going back to plain old glue and glitter for me! :D
