I was researching mica powder for a project I'm planning, and came across your vid. So glad i did. I especially enjoyed "scoopity scoop scoop" and your happiness when seeing the colors first mixed. You seem like a real nice human being to be around, thank you for sharing a little of yourself with us.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! They have made my day ♥️
I should of read all of the cooments below I went on Amazon and found the set I was so excited. Your videos are so educational and it gives me additional twist to my beads my making a custom glaze. Keep making the videos. Thanks
Thank you for this tut. I'm in California, USA, went to Amazon and found the Mica (one you show) $18.99, not at all bad. Now I can color my OH sooo many blanks, properly.
So glad the powders are easy to get in other countries x
I love this tutorial. Its fantastic. I got these too and the arteza as well. I love the arteza. Thry have a set of 35 and 60. Yes pricey but last forever.
You've really gone into depth in this and I love it!!! I love the accent I'm England too..Wiltshire but northern Irish based
You videos are so educational and so easy to follow 💕
Thank you Cathy! So glad you found them helpful
This was a very fun and informative video - thanks! LOVE the colors!
Do have a go and share your results in the group xxxxx
What a great idea!!!! Thank you.
Brilliant idea!!
Thank you, it's my favourite way to glaze now
Excellent!
Thank you glad you found it useful
Thank you for this video! I have a lot of mica powders that I need to use! I use to use the on the surface of my polymer clay tiles for a metallic look but haven't done that for awhile. Still tempted at that lovely big box though :). The glazes are lovely.
Thank you for sharing.
Cool
Hopefully i can do it ,try ........😊
I am sure you can, it is fun to experiment
Thank you for your videos, they are really awsome and informative! I am curious, if you put the lid back on the little jar will it keep your glue/glaze + mica powder mix wet for use another day or does it dry in the little jar? That would be a great way to preserve your mix to be used elsewhere.
You are very welcome and thank you for your lovely comments. I replaced the lids and it kept the glazes useable for several months which was great. Plus they were in small batches so minimal waste.
Love all your videos. Thanks for all your tips.
My pleasure thank you for watching x
You can also use inexpensive eyeshadow pallets instead of mica. They aren't 100% mica but they get the job done. Of course, using products like pearl ex will give you a much more vibrant color.
Absolutely, a great way to use up things you won’t use in your house
Your funny love the colors that the mica turns the beads into!!
Thanks Shelly xxx
Thank u for your videos. They're so informative. Do u dip your beads in anything to seal them before u color? I dip mine in wood petrifier to seal them inside and out before I glaze. I was just wondering if it would affect the colors.
Hi, so pleased you like the videos. I do sometimes dip in a wood petrifier but I would do this first before glazing. If you dip after glazing it will react and it could alter your glaze.
@@SqueakerChimp thank u!
You should always wear a mask when using mica powders. And have plenty ventilation. Just letting you know. Thank you for your video.
Yes absolutely but when doing a video I'm not sure anyone would understand me with a mask over my face.
❤ i beautiful work , i love 💞 it and definitely ry to do . I just didn't get what did you put first in the small container to mix with powder, please let me know. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for watching, I put a normal glaze in the pots - I use vallejo polyacrylic
That’s what I needed to ask. Thanks
These are also available at the US Amazon store for $17, with a coupon for $2 reducing it to $15. Glad I saw this. I wonder if you could make alcohol inks with this method. Thank you.
I have another tutorial in which I make spray alcohol inks
What have you used to create the flower accent on the bead? 16:04-16:15
I burnt them in with a pyro pen 🤣
I love it.. It's very pretty! Thank you so much for responding.
Thank u for sharing. Do u have a prefer brand of glaze to use as a base?
I like decoart triple thick x
I ordered a set of mica powders it did not have the name of the colors on it, I was so disappointed and it did not come with the little scooper it was a set of 12 colors, from Amazon. I like the set you are using.
Oh that’s a shame. Mine had 50 in so a different set. Maybe have another look. I do love mine!
Just found the mica powder can what to play with t
Can one use mica power for uv resins? Where it takes a uv light or sunlight I don't know if the light can pass through enough to cure the uv resins.
Yes you can but I would make sure they are opaque, I’ve tried to make a dark pigments in UV resin and the light would not penetrate.
Ummmm I wonder if slimmer eye shadow would have the same effect?
Have a go! I love experimenting
Zoe may i ask were you to them little pots or whatever you call them at ty can't wait to try this
I think I got them on eBay- search lip balm pots
@@SqueakerChimp ty so much Zoe my pots came in today and am ready to go but may i ask you on that round bead did you use card stock and how many strips did you use i didnt know what size the paper you use was
@@carolouimet2851 I honestly can’t remember Carol 😂🤭 I have a memory like a sieve for these things
@@SqueakerChimp i will figure it out can't wait to start playing with them
@@carolouimet2851 figuring it out is always so much fun
How long do the mixed glazes last for in the pots
Good question. If you have a pot with a tight lid, a long time. You could put a bit of plastic on the top before you screw it down. I try to make small batches so I don’t waste anything
Thank you very much
Video is great. Loved it. Thank you for making it.. Just a FYI, try to make sure you stay in frame while recording. Parts of what you were doing were off screen.
I am trying, I'm an expert crafter but very much an amateur at filming myself 😂
Just note that triple thick does tend to yellow after a while
I've got beads that's are 6 or 7 years old and not noticed any yellowing but will keep it in mind thanks
ty for the tips!
I love ur vids
why your coughing?!
Asthma
Be very careful! Breathing that is hazardous. I wear a mask and try not to get it anywhere but on the project and then serious clean up afterwards.
Absolutely
It annoys the heck out of me that Britain and England think they are the only 2 countries on the planet.
I don’t think so, I am very aware of other countries thank you.
When you are TRYING TO SHOW HOW DO A PROJECT, please don't STAY away from t e camera. I would like to see so I can learn what you are trying to teach. Please
My apologies, I am not a professional camera person or broadcaster and sometimes I go off camera without realising it. But thank you for your feedback, it really makes me want to keep sharing my skills with others for free.
