I have to say, I waited too long to follow Marian of Miss Mustard Seeds advice.
Yes she is all knowing and totally right.
German Glass Glitter is the only glitter you should ever use.
I have used the store brand. I have even popped for Martha Glitter but all of those pale in comparison to the real deal. They don't even come in the same ball park.
I took Marian's advice and ordered some from Meyers Imports and I will never go back.
I did some letter magnets - all from Miss Mustard Seeds inspiration. I kind of used the letters I had and also did some bird and snowflake ornaments. I love it.
Don't mind the nasty table they are on- that dear table sees all my crafting messes.
What a glorious glittery mess.
And I have to say- I was the bus driver of the bus- "I hate glitter and wont' work with it ever" I used to look at my kids preschool art projects with glitter in the driveway and then put them in the trash as I didn't want the crud reproducing all over my house.
I have been converted people..I am now a glitter fiend.
all thanks to Marian.
what do you glitter?

I've still not tried the German glass glitter yet, but everyone raves about it! I think these letters & birds will be a huge hit, Tammy. HUGE! :)
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Funny when I was a preschool teacher we never used glitter just because I couldn't stand it, but I have converted to using glitter now too! Haven't tried the German glass glitter yet just because of the expense but I want to. Do you mix 2 colors like she does? And the other day when taking a class one of the people in the class called it craft herpes! I thought that was funny! I hope you letters sell well. How is your booth going?
It is just such a wonderful glitter,
definitely more sparkle and that tarnish, oh it just is so beautiful
but I still use some of the cheapies when I want large amounts and chunky glitter.
I tend to use the german glitter glass on more delicate and special pieces.
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving
Happy Holidays to come

Gorgeous! I knew I could convert you. :) It was so great hanging out with you and your mom today. Thanks so much for the pumpkins!

Lovely! I just used my German glass glitter from Meyer Imports for the first time a few weeks ago. I used the white to accent sea foam on some pictures!
Hi,
I just found your blog - and I had to tell you how beautiful your creations are! I'm not terribly crafty myself, but I just loved the idea of those gorgeous glittery magnetic letters. Thanks for inspiring someone - like me - who doesn't have a lot of time to craft, but might just try something like this project. :)

Ha! I agree. I LOVED glittering everything with the glass glitter I got from MI. I'm hooked.
