They are slightly larger and more irregular than microbeads, and make great flower centres.

Here's a card I made recently with Prills in the center of the flower:

I also frequently use them as sand in underwater scenes. I have some goldy and some multicoloured ones here.

Are Prills a brand name? I saw they were from ArtQuest. Did ArtQuest create these and there are not similar versions on the market. I am always looking for beautiful item to embellish flowers.

I buy my “prills” from Ali, even Dollar Tree has carried them one time. I don’t think that is a true prill. I am curious about this too,

Looking at Heartfelt Creations, I saw something called "elements" listed with the prills. Anyone ever play with them?

I am trying to find very dark black prills. Also a rich brown. So far they are all kind of dull/faint blacks.

I looked at the Elements and just thought of the complications. I've had a card with Flower Soft impounded by Australian border control because it looked too organic.

I'm sure you could colour Prills darker yourself with alcohol ink. I've certainly changed the colour of some of my microbeads by rolling them in alcohol ink, as I only have about three colours.

The first time I saw them mentioned, I looked them up and all I could find were fertilisers and a water purification product - neither of which sounded right for using on cards!

Really? For flower soft? Wow. I was just looking at some "pollen" and passed. I thought the elements look like they have jagged edges?

Coloring prills with alcohol ink...hmm. I will keep that in mind-thanks for the tip!

Elements are organic components, grown or produced by Mother Earth and manipulated into a variety of shades and shapes. We love to use them in the centers of our hand-crafted 3-D Heartfelt Creations flowers!
Sounds like dirt/crushed rocks to me .. - then colored somehow
