Item Name:
Pixie Dust - Antique Bronze - #660
SKU:
PXIE DST ANT. BRONZE
Description:
Pixie Dust Antique Bronze is a fine pigment powder designed for lampworking and glassblowing applications. The powder is composed of mica-based pigments that create metallic and decorative effects on glass surfaces. It is constructed as a dry, finely-milled powder that adheres to heated glass, allowing artists to add rich, lustrous finishes to their work. The antique bronze color provides warm, earthy metallic tones that complement both transparent and opaque glass pieces. This product is sold in 28-gram increments.
How it is used:
- Heat the glass piece until it reaches a red-hot state, bringing it to the proper temperature for powder adhesion
- Lightly immerse or coat the heated glass in the Pixie Dust powder, rotating to ensure even coverage
- Briefly anneal the piece, taking care not to burn the powder off during the heating process
- Apply a transparent protective coating after annealing to seal and preserve the pigment finish
- Alternatively, place the powder on a metal or graphite surface and dip the glass directly into it for controlled application
- Use for highlighting and accentuating focal points on beads, ornaments, and sculptural glass pieces
