Disappointed with the lack of sparkle from the dust of real diamonds, Warhol's own 'diamond dust' was comprised of fine particles of cut or crushed glass applied to the print when the ink was still wet. This process was developed as a result of the collaborative nature of the Factory as Warhol stated he felt the idea of the 'dust' came from his printer Rubert Jansen Smith, musing 'The diamond dust fell off Rupert's paintings and stuck to mine.' Grapes was the first instance where Warhol applied his own diamond dust material to his prints.
