Can I use my dry china paint pigments in an acrylic paint pour?
I have a lot of my China paint pigment from when I painted Porcelain dolls. I am now doing acrylic paint pours and curious if my China paint pigments would work like the color art pigments?

I want to make my own chalk paint.
Can't think of any reason why not. Do a tiny amount on a scrap of wood to see what you think.
I agree, I think that would work great but always try a small test strip first!
Hello. Are they water-based or enamel-based?
They should work. You might want to try in a smaller project like a coaster to see if you like the effect. I have done both acrylic paints and sampled trying airbrush gold paint in my project.
Make sure you use like paints with each other example water with water, oil with oil. Then they will work.
You might want to peek at this thread. It seems to say that the dry pigments won't dissolve properly in the paint because they're made up of tiny mineral particles that need heat. Of course, I'm not at all familiar with the process, but maybe this will help: https://makingamark.blogspot.com/2011/08/pigment-conundrum-for-you.html
I vote on making a small piece like a paperweight and see how it turns out!
It's definitely worth experimenting, Debbie. You may just start a whole new trend
I agree, best to test using a small amount of paint and pigment to see if they mix......maybe a new invention with yet another creative look?
Yes but try on a smaller piece to see how it would look
