Mica Powder and Clay Resources

July 28, by Elaine Robitaille. Leave a Comment

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAIf you want to find mica powders and give them a shot try the regular crafty places: Michael’s, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby or your local scrapbooking shops and local hobby places. Online, try:

  • Shades of Clay
  • Polymer Clay Express
  • Munro’s Crafts

I’ve purchased from all of these and been happy.

Many of the clay project books out there have good mica powder projects in them so I’ll recommend my usual Sue Heaser’s Encyclopedia of Polymer Clay for a starter.

The shiny beetles above were from a swap for polymer clay bug pins I participated in, in 2009. Each set of bugs for the swap, I used a different technique and these were my mica powder beetles. Plain black clay bug shapes with interference powders and gold on top of the raw clay, pressed in gently. After baking, a coat of Varathane varnish to keep the powders in place.
