Glitter Artistry: Bags, Tags & Cards

By Barbara Trombley

Glitter's not just for child's play anymore! Now it's a sophisticated, high-quality product available in hundreds of sparkling shades, sizes, and styles. Barbara Trombley--the owner of Art Glitter, Inc.--has pioneered the field, creating unique colors and designing her own magnificent line of cards. Who better to explain the entire dazzling process? She discusses the difference between opaque and transparent glitters; the diverse sizes, from chunky to ultra fi? the categories of sheen, from neon to pearles¢ the all-important adhesives; and a variety of exciting techniques. What will really thrill crafters are the shimmering bag, tag, and card projects--some travel and vintage inspired, others seasonally themed, and still more for celebrations such as birthdays, graduations, and weddings.

Beautiful Glitzy Papercrafts

I'm not a "bling" crafter normally, but saw the author demonstrate the lace technique on a Carol Duvall show re-run and had to get this book. I never knew there was an "art" to making glitter or the reasons that all glitter is NOT alike. The photos are wonderful and the techniques are all clearly explained and adaptable to any type of paper crafts. I also appreciated the cover price--many of the crafting books on the market cost much more and offer much less information. This is a great value.
