Has anyone used Dichro powder!
Hi All,
I am interested in trying the new Dichroic powder & was wondering if anyone on LE has tried it & how well they liked the results? Thanks! |
I have and I love it.
Excuse the bad photo but there is a very tiny amount of the Dichroic Extract in this bead. Photos only pick up about a third of the sparkle. This is the first bead that I made with it. Barrel bead made of blue, rolled in the DE and then cased w/ clear. |
Thanks Jennefer.
|
OOOOOO!
And where/who is selling this sparkly? Looks very interesting. dj |
CBS sells the dichro powder, Ive also seen somewher that you can make like a paint or paste with it as well, im curious if you could do something like a oil/water dip with it
|
I bought mine from Val Lewis.
It is expensive and comes in a little tiny glass vial. It takes very little to add sparkly goodness to your bead. I haven't had any issues with burning or scum. |
Val Lewis has it, find her on FB and ask to be added to the sparkle group---she has a gallery with hints and tips
|
I just bought some from Val. It was actually cheaper than on the CBS website.
|
It is on Amazon also.
|
Oh my it is a bit pricey, isn't it?
|
I have a handful of single jars of the splinter extract if anyone's looking. http://www.avenuebeads.com/lampwork-...dichro-extract
|
What is the difference between the splinter extract and the powder?
|
It's the same stuff, but just CBS' splinter style dichroic.
|
Its a thicker grain of powder Jelly, more of chunks than powder
|
Do the people that have used both, like extract better than the fused glass dicro strips?

Thanks Jayne, those are beautiful!
|
Thanks, Kelley & Angie! The tube beads in my cover photo have the DE on the exterior. Sometimes I encase it though. There are encased examples further down on the page.
|
Where is the best place to purchase some and what color is the most useful?
|
I bought mine from Joe (Avenue Beads) - his is easily the best price around, super fast shipping and awesome service :)
