It's time to play with German Glass Glitter for Halloween!

Oy! It's been too long since my last post!
Once again, I've been distracted.

Besides the fact that I'm pet-sitting with these little cuties.....

I was working on my first Halloween Putz house,

but then I received a fabulous shipment.....

of this!

A vast array of German Glass Glitter colors & grits to play with!

I was approached a few months ago by Meyer Imports
(North American importer of German Glass Glitter)
about teaming up with them, to craft with their awesome
products, and share my creations.
Since I discovered the merits of glass glitter years ago,
this was kind of a no-brainer for me.
(Some of this pictured is purchased, and some is complimentary.)

I am in the design phase of creations for 
Halloween and Christmas, so as I use Meyer's products, 
I will describe where I've used them.
They have so many products,
that my selection doesn't even scratch the surface!

This is the first Halloween item I applied their glitter to.

I found these darling little treat cauldrons at the thrift store,

but I'm sure there's a plethora of them in retail land.

Since there were raised flames on it already,

it made the design easy.

I used 80-grit Black glass glitter for the body,

and Pumpkin Spice Medley for the flames.

Just for fun, I used Black Mica for the rim

to give it an ashy appearance.

Finally, I pulled out the flimsy black handle

and added a black wire. 

Using this as a decoration,

it would be cute with a battery votive,

as if something was brewing inside,

or with a mini skeleton.

If used as a party favor,

you need to seal the glitter with glossy varnish.

You don't want any glitter to shed,

especially since it's glass.

I have to say, I've purchased German glass glitter from 

a lot of shops, and it is now apparent that I've been deprived of

the good stuff many times. It appears that some

merchants mix the pure silver-backed glitter with 

the sugary colored glitter, to fill the ounces

for less money. The brilliance of Meyer's glass glitter

is truly the best I've used, so needless to say,

I can now accept no substitutes.

Brilliance aside, since I like to be artistic with 

whatever medium I use, I LOVE the fact that 

I have so many grit sizes to choose from!

Next up, I'll be showing the 2 new Halloween creations 

I just completed, both with the German Glass Glitter.
