I went to my local Sally's and bought 6 tiny jars of glitter and love the effect. They are 99 cents and last quite a while. I agree that it is enough to experiment with. Good variety of colors too.
Do most use a light box or natural light? I read an article on the new Saponifier issue and it said to use natural light and put the lamps in the closet. I personally like the look of the pics taken with the light boxes mentioned. What does everyone use?
