Making Glow In The Dark Paint "Give Your Art Some Pop"
If you have never seen it you are missing something. If you have never used it thats a shame. If you love art this will blow you away. If your are crafty this will give you a million ideas in a flash of a second. If you are wondering what I am talking about it is Glow in the Dark Paint and Powder.
The use of glow in the dark paints for fine art and craft projects is not widely known. Most people who appreciate art or are artist themselves have probably never heard of it or thought about using glow in the dark paint in their art or for their craft projects. But they should. Glow in the dark powders and paint have come along way. Years ago the best glow in the dark stuff availible was a mixture of Zinc sulfide and copper. It smelled like bad eggs and had a glow time and brightness that was less than impressive. Not true anymore. A new type of glow in the dark powder has arrived and it will blow you away. Called Strontium Aluminate these powders are awsom. If you would like to know more about the chemistry of Strontium please visit www.GloNation.com and you can find out how it works.
The pigments that have been developed are Green, with a glow time around 12 hours, Teal or AKA Aqua 10 hours, Blue, Purple or violet around 4 hours and red around 1/2 an hour. The times I just stated are real they will glow that long. The pigments glow very brightly and are just way cool.
For crafters you can use these pigments in more than paint, It works in any clear substance except water. It needs to be suspended. Use it in plastics, silicones, gels if you can think it, you can make it glow.
When painting with it you have to think in a different way. You must remember what will it look like in the dark. You can do some rally cool stuff with it. You can have a canvas it would appear that it is plain white, turn out the lights and you could have a whole painting glowing. The powder can mix in a white paint and glow green red, blue or violet. Neat huh? Make glow in the dark candles. Mix it in with candle gel and they will glow before you even light them.
I hope this gives you a bunch of ideas so throw in the glow and have a blast.
