Mica is a natural stone mineral with shiny flakes. Once ground, you get mica powder. Mica powders are sparkly, sort of like very fine glitter. Pearl Ex or Perfect Pearls are good examples of mica powder we might find in our craft room. They’re used to give a metallic or shimmery pearl-like effect to your projects, whether working clay, cardstock, ink or paint.
Mica Shift technique is imply shaving off the stamped image from the clay which results in a beautiful, sparkly imprint left behind, as you can see in the video.
This pendant was very easy to make. I simply used different size circle cutters and baked two pieces (the large circle and the small circle) in the oven. After they cooler, I applied resin. The resin really brings the mica to life!!
This pendant is still in works.I really love the image so likely I will leave it intact and maybe decorate with some beads on top. Some things should just be left in it's simplest form, don't you agree?
