Where To Buy Pearl Ex Powders

Although Nunn Design strives to offer all that you could possibly need to create our tutorials, sometimes we just can’t offer everything.  Mica in its raw form looks like glass.  It is mined, made into flat sheets and colorized with a coating of micro particles.  The mica sheets are then shattered to create different grain sizes allowing the artisan to create different looks and affects. Mica powders are archival and will not fade with exposure to light and are a perfect way to colorize 2-part epoxy resin.  Pearl Ex Pigments is the brand of mica powders that Jacquard Products offers.   To purchase Pearl Ex Powders, log onto Jacquard Products for a full listing of colors and products that they offer.  There is also a great “where to buy” section!  http://www.jacquardproducts.com/pearl-ex-pigments.html
