Painted Glamour

I had a lovely afternoon last week doing a mica demo for Simply Craft in Cardiff.

Throughout the demo I used mica in powder, flake and tile form and using it as watercolour stamping medium went down particularly well with my appreciative audience.

By mixing the powders with water and Gum Arabic, you get a wonderful paint that can be stamped, splodged, spritzed and brushed to create wonderful effects, like these cards on the left. The mica adds such a wonderful gleam.

We also had a bit of a laugh as I sprayed webbing paint around!
