Springtime Mica-hol Ink Swirl Tumbler - Watch Me Make This Pretty, Shimmery Cup!

  • I saw a photo of a gorgeous tumbler in a Facebook tumbler group recently and decided to see if I could do something similar. And this is my attempt (it's not the least bit similar, but I think it's beautiful!). The mica gods laughed and laughed.

    I love Swirls! Mostly swirls of color, but really any swirls at all - I think they add a beauty and grace to everything. So after I started making soap a few years ago, and needing some sort of biz name that didn't sound like everyone else's version of suds-r-us, I decided on Luxinda Swirl. Luxinda is a twist on my real name, and I quickly started putting swirls of color in all of my handmade soaps.
    Now I'm branching out a bit, and I want to keep adding swirls to everything I do!

    BB’s in the bottle work wonders to mix so when you shake it really mixes and doesn’t change mixture.

    I was so inspired by this tutorial I tried out your mica-hol method but instead of using epoxy I flooded the cup with alcohol and then added the mica mixes. Then sealed the cup with clear gloss spray. Mine turned out looking more like a baked glazed cup. I may not have done it right but the outcome was a happy accident. ☺

    • @Luxinda
      @Luxinda  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! It’s funny because I used the gorgeous Holtz pearl alcohol ink colors on a different cup, but in a different way and got a much much brighter look than how this cup with the micas turned out. If you haven’t seen that video, it’s here: th-cam.com/video/YC27yQAKnIg/w-d-xo.html. But it would be really interesting to try 2 cups side by side using the same method for each and comparing one with Holtz pearls and the other with these mica-hols, just to see how each turns out. Thanks for the idea!!

    Hi again again! So sorry if I’m asking something you said but I’ve rewatched this one a few several times and the one that you did with a black base. So, after you drop the mica-hols…do you seal it and then put the final coat or is that the only coat you put (the one with the mica-hold?) thx so much!

    • @Luxinda
      @Luxinda  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! No problem at all 😊 Ok, in both cases, after I drop on the mica-hols and let the tumbler keep turning all night so the resin is dry to the touch, then I would apply at least one more layer of resin over the entire cup to finish it off.

      99% isn’t mandatory. I expect the 91% available in drugstores would work fine. I happened to have a stash of 99 from back at the beginning of lockdown when I couldn’t find any alcohol in stores at all so I turned to Amazon.

      Well, it was 5 scoops of mica and 5 pipettes of alcohol, but to get the true scope of what that means, in the clip at the end of the video you can see the actual scoop and pipette I use for size reference. If I were to guess at measurements, I’d say about 1/4 teaspoon mica to about 6 or 7 milliliters of alcohol. Those little bottles I put the mica-hols in hold 10 ml total.
