Fascinating read from the New York Times

"What is Glitter"

BTW polyethylene terephthalate is Dacron, per Wikipedia.
And one of my printmaking instructors described glitter rather unflatteringly as the "herpes of the art world" because it spreads everywhere.

Digital glitter is much less complicated.

that's pretty funny about the "spreads everywhere". I'm a big fan of glitter

That is too funny about glitter as herpes. I was using some super-fine glitter on a gift that I was making for my BFF. It was airborne, I swear. Somehow, one of my dogs had it all over her fur and every time she went into the light, she sparkled head to tail. It must have taken 2-3 days for it to all shake off. ;)

Digital gliiter-- much easier to use
