Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments are our most versatile product yet! Mix Pearl Ex into any viscous medium for a metallic/pearlescent effect. Pearl Ex is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability, ideal for interior, fashion, fine arts and other archival applications. It has a use for every artist, from watercolorist to calligrapher, resin caster to rubber stamper. Try it mixed with Gum Arabic, glue or acrylic gel medium, or mixed into one of Jacquard’s colorless extenders for use on fabric. It can also be mixed with oils, acrylics, encaustics, cold waxes, polymer clays, printing inks, resins, or spread dry on porous surfaces. Pearl Ex creates a metallic effect without being a real metal—it will never tarnish or fade. The different particle sizes produce different effects, from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen.

Cyanotype is an antique photographic process distinctive for producing Prussian blue monochromatic prints. Developed in the mid-19^th century, cyanotype was quickly embraced as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs, documents, maps and plans (hence the enduring architectural term “blueprint”). Famously, it was also used by Ana Atkins and other field biologists for indexing plant specimens—the first photograms ever made! Cyanotype is a remarkably simple process that employs two inexpensive chemicals and sunlight/UV.

Jacquard now offers an entire line of Cyanotype products! Cyanotype is the original sun-printing process. It’s been around since the earliest days of photography. It’s easy, it’s magical, and the results are almost always stunning. Jacquard offers pretreated cyanotype fabrics, a DIY chemistry set and a class pack—a total of five different ways to experience Cyanotype. Great for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids and more! A great group activity for any age. We have also created a support website that makes it easy to creative photographic Cyanotype prints: www.jacquardcyanotype.com.
