I use just mica powder on unbaked clay, filling in the design, then tape (I bought a HUGE roll of cheap packing tape at the dollar store) to remove the mica powder from the areas outside the indents. I often get a slight color tone to the white clay around the design, and in some cases I like it. When I don't want that slight color tone, I sand after I bake to remove it. I was disappointed at the loss of the shine when I added mica to the liquid clay.
Martha, that's a great technique, too! It doesn't really have the look of ceramic, but it is nice. I did something similar last summer and called them Prismatic Pendants: th-cam.com/video/pBE2xF3Dqg4/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the tutorial
You are very welcome! Happy creating. :-)
Thank you
love your beads thanks
You are welcome, Rosy. Happy creating!
I love my dremil drill with a rag bit to burnish my beads.
Good idea! I should probably give that a try as I HATE sanding. :-)
Why not put needle between two layers before you join them?
You can do it that way, but I find it harder to get the edges smooth.
