Lumiere
paints by Jacquard are gorgeous metallic paints that spread smoothly and stay flexible. A perfect choice for fabric and leather, but are also stunning on surfaces like paper, photos, wood, shrink plastic and even styrofoam.
Washable and dry cleanable.
Neopaque
by Jacquard
has a similar consistency to Lumiere. Neopaque paints are designed to cover dark grounds with a light application and they are not metallic. You can use these colors to mix into and "antique" Lumiere.
Dye-na-Flow
by Jacquard is a highly pigmented liquid paint very similar to dye. It has a
very soft hand on fabric, especially silk. On silk, it interacts in an unusual
way. It pushes and pulls the other colors. It intermixes beautifully with the
other paints.
Textile
Colors by Jacquard are intense semi-opaque paints which leave your fabric as
soft as possible. They can be applied straight from the bottle with a brush,
airbrush, squirt bottle or stamp. When diluted with 25% water or #100 Colorless
Extender they produce beautiful transparencies.
Green
Label Silk Colors by Jacquard are a flowable paint-on dye. Beautiful colors,
easy to use, perfect for painting on silk. These dyes produce rich, transparent
colors that allow the translucent nature of the fabric to show through. All
colors may be blended to produce an infinite range of vivid colors that flow
freely on silk. Dilute with water for pastels. Silk Colors are true dyes,
not thinned pigments, so they do not stiffen the silk or cover the luster.
Simple to use, lightfast, odorless, non-toxic, contain no alcohol, can be
hand-washed or dry-cleaned.
Exciter
Packs by Jacquard are an economical and fun way to use a variety of Jacquard
paints and inks.
Perfect
Pigments are pure liquid acrylics by USArtQuest. They contain no fillers,
allowing for clean, mixed colors and natural translucency or opacity.
heat-setting on textiles is optional. Every color is non-toxic and exhibits a
high tinting strength, flexible and superior adhesion, as well as the
lightfastness and permanency artists and crafters look for in quality paint.
