Christy of Inklings & Yarns is starting a series of screen printing posts. Starting with a peek at the inside our Screen Printing Kit. Most recently she prepped her screen for burning, which is half the battle when it comes to screen printing. We are looking forward to seeing what kinds of projects she comes up with!  Sewers, Quilters and Scrapbookers will especially enjoy her blog! 



Judi Kauffman used our PiƱata Inks in her steampunk inspired Artist Trading Cards in the November Issue of Scrapbooking.com. See the article for many other inspiring designs!

And last, but certainly not least! 

Artist Carolyn Wing Greenlee wrote a very inspirational post about how she got back in to painting after a six year hiatus, despite her nearly complete loss of vision. The post titled, The Fabulous Freedom of Wearable Art was also shared on our facebook page earlier this year. Carolyn is now selling her beautiful wearable art at her newest site, Solo Uno Designs. They are all gorgeous, but my absolute favorite is her Autumn Tree Design! Her mixture of opaque colors in a water color style blend looks outstanding on a dark background. Breathtaking!

Our Favorite Pearl Ex Pigments for Autumn


What is it about Fall that suddenly brings sparkles back in season? Here at Jacquard, we consider autumn peak crafting season, and our shimmery Pearl Ex Pigments are the star of the show. Pearl Ex is a loose pigment you can use to add color and shimmer to a wide range of the art supplies you already have at home! You can use it with embossing powder, gum Arabic, watercolors, shrink plastic, polymer clay, translucent paints, encaustic waxes, gel mediums, extenders, resins, glues or just about any clear medium, whether acrylic or solvent based. See the instructions on our website for a full list of possibilities.

In preparation for our favorite season, we've put together a palette of Pearl Ex Pigments for the Fall Season, pictured above. From left to right: Carbon Black 640, Super Russet 654, Pink Gold 643, Antique Bronze 660, Aztec Gold 658, and Pumpkin Orange 641. Pearl Ex is available in a variety of sizes ranging from 3 grams, up to 1, 5 and even 10lbs. We also have three different sets of 12 colors, and a 32 color set as well.
