-----DIAMOND DUST-----, by maadbeats on Jul 1, 2011 18:26:06 GMT 1, I was looking to add some diamond dust to a project i am working on. I heard it is just crushed glass or crystals. Can anyone confirm this?? If not anyone know a good place to buy some?? I have seen some in craft stores but not sure if its the same kind used in high end painting.
Any info anyone could lend on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's applied as a finish to prints while the ink is drying along the lines of a icing duster?? It's cheap enough to buy, trial and error??

-----DIAMOND DUST-----, by Ottomatik on Jul 1, 2011 23:58:11 GMT 1, I have used pigment powders in my inks.
It's fine enough to mix with the ink before you pull the screen.
You can get many different colors. Less than $10.
You have to wear a mask when you add it to your ink, you do not want to inhale such things.
I'll post a photo of the container soon.

-----DIAMOND DUST-----, by thegreatarchitect on Jul 4, 2011 12:50:27 GMT 1, True diamond dust gives less of an effect than the crushed glass stuff Best to use powered glass There is a shop just outside Bethnel Green Tube station that deals exclusively in printing inks but they do sell the powered glass Cant remember the name of this shop Sorry
