Cowbird is a smaller sized dark blue flake, considered Fine with a 0.015 hex size. This high quality craft glitter is a dark blue color with lighter blue, clear and darker blue flecks. This is a non-metallic glitter so it appears more glossy rather than reflective. It does have lots of sparkle and shine to it, especially in well lit areas, and a small amount will go along way during application used with glues, and epoxy. It will add the perfect detail to indoor pictures, signs, sets, shoes, tumblers and other art projects. Cowbird glitter reminds us of the Cowbird found around Amarillo, Texas, mainly in pastures around livestock, due to the shiny dark blue feathers seen on male birds. These birds appear to be black until the light shines on their feathers in the perfect way to reveal the blue tint to their feathers.
