A different way to use mica powders in resin

I am a resin artist with a few years experience and wanted to share what I have learned in that time.
I hope to inspire both beginners and more experienced creators.
Showing you guys my own unique technique for 'painting', using mica powder.
Alcohol evaporates and any alcohol above 75% should be perfectly fine to mix with mica powder.
The unicorn resin mould was purchased from 'Wish' but it is available in many other places. I chose this mould because of its intricate details, with flowers, but this technique can be used on any mould.
The mould needs to be kept still after the alcohol has evaporated as the powder will then be very fragile. Try not to move the mould too much and clean any moved powder before pouring resin.
Questions and comments are always welcome.

Wendy I absolutely love this video !!! Finally I get to see how you have been creating your masterpieces 😍😍 the alcohol really does allow you to get such defined lines and detail 😍😍 just brilliant ! Great filming, lighting and overall fabness ! Xxxx
Yes babe. Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it ! The secret is out now 😂. Thanks honey 💞
Hi can you tell me whatvthe stuff you us to mix with the powder please
I love your video's. I've been a tattoo artist for twenty years, painted murals and pictures for most of my life. Just started playing with resins and your videos have given me major help on what I wanted to do. One thing, I see you use Rubbing Alcohol, I work in electronics as a full time job and we use Isopropyl Alcohol because it has less water added to it and dries faster and cleaner.
Yes I use that now too 😀😀😀 it’s much better. Sounds like you are an artist and I really hope you enjoy your resin journey 😀💜
0:06 - That is UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME!!!
Thanks Miley 👍😁
I wish You-tube directed me to your videos sooner. You opened my mind to a new dimension
Aww I’m so glad you are inspired 😀😀 happy crafting 👍❤️
Wow that is just beautiful, so glad you posted it
Thanks very much indeed 🥰
Absolutely love how you did this. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Kam you are very welcome 🤗
Fascinating this alcohol mixing technique, each brush stroke can be more precise without the powder flying all over
Exactly but it’s more of a touch or dab than a stroke 😀😀❤️👍
Absolutely gorgeous!

I am really new to resin. I'm trying to learn as much as I can. They're so many techniques.
This was so satisfying to watch! :D
Thank you so much Nandini. 😀😀
Glad you liked it 😀😀😀👍
Wow! I never knew you could do this. I have paint w dry micas and was never happy w the color. Thank you sooo much for your knowledge.
Hope it works out for you but remember the back colour also makes a huge difference 😀👍❤️
You’re a genius! I’m trying this today on a butterfly mold! Thank you!
Good luck and have fun 😀❤️👍
I didn't know you could use mica as a paint like that! How wonderful. I also love your little alcohol cup - it's sooooo cute! XOXO
Hehe they are very handy little silicone cups lol. I use this technique a lot. 👍😁
What a awesome idea
Thanks. It's brilliant to do just takes a little bit of practice 😁👍
Wow. That's GORGEOUS. Just simply beautiful. I'm just starting resin and there's a particular couple of molds I wanted to "paint" with mica. Thanks for showing me!!
I'm so glad this has helped. It takes a little bit of getting used to so don't give up but I use this method a lot and works really well. 😁👍
Thank you so much... I think I have almost watched all your videos, since I started watching you. If I haven't watched all and will soon.
🤭😳 I hope you enjoyed them 😀💜
This is genius 🤯 wow what a difference to the colours are much more vibrant and the clean up afterwards is minimal it looks like will most definitely be doing this for all fine work moving forward thank you for sharing this ❤
Thank you! 😀😀 I still use this method on flat moulds but in a slightly different way 😀😀 next couple of videos I put out will help 😀💜
Thank you so much really appreciate your tutorial this is going to make my pieces pop even more without all the extras 💜🧿💜
Totally welcome Davine.
Have fun 😀👍
Wendy!!! This is an absolute game changer for me!!!! No more dry fly away micas touching where they are not wanted. I cannot tell you how excited I am now, wish I could give you a great big squeezy hug!!! Thank you, thank you! I'm off to do some mica painting right now, good bye frustrations!! Yipeeeeeee 🎉😁🥳
Have fun with it 😀😀 it’s definitely a little learning curve but I do love it 😀💜
Heya!! I do this, too! I figured this out a while ago, and I hadn't found anyone else doing it! Good to see that your mind works like that, too!
Fantastic Naudia 😀😀 I’m glad you enjoy it and it’s great to know it works for you 😀❤️
Cool technique. Thanks!
Glad you think so 😁😁😁😁❤️
Hi I just want to say Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. By the way your unicorn and flowers came out looking lovely. 👍🏼❤
You are so welcome! 😀😀 thank you 😀💜
OMGOSH! You are just BRILLIANT! I love how vibrant it makes the powders look and it's sooo much neater/cleaner then trying to brush on dried powders that end up all over the place...thank you so much for showing us how it's done...I am sooooo glad I stumbled on your channel 💜
You are totally welcome Katherine.
It is definitely a technique I have used a lot. I hope you enjoy it and although it takes a little getting used to I’m sure you will work wonders 😀😊👍
Wow I’m so going to try this
It takes a little practice but I use this method a lot 😀😀😀
Happy crafting 👍😀
Fantastic! When I paint mica it flies all over..this will keep it in place. Thanks ❤❤❤
You are very Susan 😀😀 happy crafting 👍💜
Brilliant and a great idea! Thank you so much! Liked & Subscribed!!
Welcome to my little channel Sharyn 😀😀 I’m glad you liked it 😀👍❤️
I love unicorns and this one is so very beautiful 😍
Thank you Geneva 😀😀❤️
Found this Chanel by accident I was surprised that this was only your second video .A very good demo ,very informative ,and very helpful hints so I have subscribed thank you for sharing .Have a great new year Greetings from Adelaide Australia
Happy accident for me 😃 thanks so much for subbing 👌 I hope you enjoy my channels content as much as I love making it. Can't believe you found it in Australia !! That is brilliant 👍😀 happy new year 🎈 Gwynne
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I have been watching resin videos for a little while and was disappointed that if you used powdered mica there was no way you could really restrict the flow of the powder. I am so thrilled that I surfed upon you and your tip. Thank you again and I will subscribe to you!
Thank you so much Virginia 😀😀 I am glad it’s helped 😀💜
Great job!
Thank you so much 😀💜
You just made my life so much easier. I’m new at resin art and when I have used mica powder it makes such a mess to clean up as I work. No more! Thank you!!
I’m so glad it’s helpful 😀😀💜 have fun 😀💜👍
Im really liking this technique.
Tfs 🦉🎨
That is wicked. I'm so pleased 😊
Thank you for this video! Not long ago I 'painted' a mold with mica powders. I thought the outcome would be as brilliant a color as the powders. Unfortunately, once I unmolded the item, the mica powders were actually very light. I was disappointed to say the least. Now, thanks to your video, I know what to do next time to make the colors actually shine!
Please bear in mind that some micas will work better with dark colours behind and some will light. And the better quality micas, the better colour you get 😀💜
Brilliant!!!
Thank you Tammy
thank you for this video i just learned how to do it
So glad it was helpful 😀😀💜
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I hate trying to even dust small spaces. I may never dust again.
Lol. Dusting has it's place but for small pieces this method is my go-to 👍😃
Great technique I will have to give it a try myself :)
You should 😃 it's easy 👍
Brilliant! Muttered it to myself a couple times throughout your video. I have a large 14" Christmas mold that I already had a go at (used a dry paintbrush and painted on mica but it took forever & also didn't cure right for a corner of it 😭). Anyway, I was wracking my brain trying to figure out a better way and I found your video. The colors are even more vibrant as well as it is way easier. I'm so thankful you shared this! Much more excited to try this mold again.
It’s a little bit of getting used to but it’s worth it imo on occasions. I hope you have fun with it and I’m sure you will get where you want to be 😀👍❤️
Awesome technique Wendy, this has given me an idea 😁... Thanks for sharing, and best of luck with RUclips 👍
Thanks very much indeed 💓. Glad you like it 😁
Thank you so much for sharing...
You are very welcome Gina 😀👍❤️
OMG you are amazing. I'm doing Christmas cookie trays and now thanks to you, I can do the tiny words without powder falling all over. THANK YOU. You are my Resin Angel
You are so welcome!🤗 have fun 😀😀😀
@@Toonpish it took 4 hrs to do words but came out great. Don't know how to add picture but when I figure it out I'll post
I know this is after the fact....but what a great tip. I plan on trying this..Thanks for sharing. Take care. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
That is great Sheryl. Have fun with it 👍🙂
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing ....
Your welcome 😃👍
This came out so COOL! I've shared the video to my Facebook page, and tagged yours. :)
Thank you so much Lori 😀😀 that’s very nice of you 😀👍❤️
I appreciate that greatly 😀
That is such an amazing technique and so simple I have some butterfly moulds I use for fridge magnets that I am going to try this on. Thanks so much for sharing Wendy it's a brilliant tip and for only your second vid you should be very proud xx
Aww thanks so much. I'm glad you are going to try it. Makes me happy ☺️
Toonpish_crafts I’ll tag you on my Instagram when I do it 💕
@@DaveGDesigns Ty very much indeed 💓
Oh you my lady are brilliant 👏 😀 I subscribed off this video. I am a fan I will be trying this myself.
Thank you so much Amy and welcome to my little channel 😀😀😀
Have fun with it
Happy crafting 😀👍❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I was looking all over trying to find out why my acrylic paint kept separating when I tried to paint my mold. I'll try using mica powder with alcohol as you suggested.
Good luck and have fun 👍😁😀
thank you! i usually paint my piece after the fact with mica powder but making sure that the mica powder wont lift and mix with the top coat is a handful
That is a different way of doing it huh. I hope you have fun with this method. It takes a little getting used to but I love it ☺️
Really enjoyed your second RUclips video Wendy, you're a natural. I learnt so much too, got to try it out, who would have thought the rubbing alcohol would change the colour so dramatically. Thank you for sharing this technique love. Good luck with your next video xx
Thanks very much Valerie ❣️. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍😘
@@Toonpish Yes absolutely enjoyed it & your so very welcome. I wish you all the best with your future videos, not that you need it because you've got it spot on xxx 💜💜💜 🤗🤗🤗
@@valeriescraftyattic3337 you are very kind honey. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement
@@Toonpish Hey you so deserve this love xxx 💜💜💜
I'm just getting into painting molds and was disappointed with the dullness of the colors. Decided to see if good old youtube had any tricks for me, and I am so glad I did! Thank you for sharing! (And hello from another Wendy!)
👋👋👋👋 hello Wendy 👍😀
I am glad this video has inspired you 😀
Happy crafting and have fun 😀👍❤️
Omg this video was EXACTLY what I needed!! Thank you!!
Brilliant. Have fun with it. I have another video that also might help. 4 ways to colour moulds. It gives a little more detail. Thank you so much for your comment. 😀😀😀😀😀👍
@@Toonpish perfect! I was having troubles trying to "paint" with mica powder in molds. They're weren't curing right. I think I was just getting too much in the mold, this is brill!
@@all4mj yes don’t ‘cake’ it on. Blow off the excess then clean the parts you want clean for the next one. I have another colouring video out tomorrow. Hope you enjoy it 😀👍
@@Toonpish I have 70% and 91% available to me, what percent do you recommend?
91 the higher the better 👍😀❤️
I think you just changed my entire life 😍
😂😂😂 I really hope that is in a good way 😀😀😀👍❤️
Thank you so much Caitlin 😊😀
I have other responsibilities today but....ok twist my arm, I'll do resin!! I've got two big containers full of molds😂 And it's Yom Kippur, I don't have to do work. You sure made it tempting!
😂😂😂😂 I can’t stop crafting 😂😂
I totally get inspired by others and sometimes my brain just won’t stop 😂😂 so sorry if it’s rubbed off on you 🤷♀️😀👍
Wendy, this is outstanding! I knew spraying alcohol on the powder that was already applied dry would help keep it in place, per Claire'sCraftyCorner. But this is taking it to the next level! Brilliant!!!
Thank you so much Christine 😀😀💜👍
I am very new to resin work, tried working with the micro powder, but not very successful, watched other videos, and the don't always explain in detail like you do. It was so easy after watching your videos...I have to say you are amazing, and the help you share is so easy to follow. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰 you have just made my day 😀😀😀👍💜
Awesome!!!!! 👌🏽 👏🏽 👍🏼 😍
Thanks Beam 😀😀👍❤️
I like this method. Seems easier to control...the mica doesn't go everyyyywhere. Better precision I think, but I'm just a young pup at this so you know wayyyy more than I. Beautiful !!!
You gotta start somewhere though right 😀 and the first piece I made was green and sticky 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting Teresa 👍 If you try this method keep the mica wet with alcahol , it evaporates quickly
omg you should see my Mandela plaque after doing this its come out amazing!! theres so much detail just dusting wouldnt have shown i didnt just want to pour, i wanted to do the pattern i had in my head and OMG I LOVE IT thank you for sharing this shame i cant share a pic
Are you on Instagram??? I would love to see it 😊😊😊 aww man please tag me if you are. Thanks so much. I'm so glad you like it 😁😀
Amazing
Ty Jennifer 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you
You are welcome 💜
That is so cool,From Davi The NightRider😂
Thank you Davi 😀💜
fabulouse informantion
Thank you so much Karen 😀😀💜
That is absolutely inspired! As soon as I take the lid off a pot of mica it seems to be everywhere! There are no defined lines when you paint into a larger space (or smaller) so this is going to help massively. Thanks so much. I’ve subscribed!
If you’re looking for ideas what to do a video on, could I make a suggestion please? I would like to master top coating an ornament. I can do flat areas without a problem but my curved surfaces always have that orange peel dimpling effect where the resin pools. I’ve tried thin coats, thick coats, fresh resin, sanded fresh resin, sanded cured resin, using my gloved finger, a brush, thick resin, thin resin....everything! Please help someone!
Hi There, sorry I haven't responded to this comment as for some reason it got withheld. But thank you so much for the suggestion. I must admit, I hate top coating non flat surfaces as well. I can't say its something I am good at either, so at the moment I will not do an instruction video on it as I am not worthy.
I will try and improve my skills and hope I can come up with something in the future though. Wendy
OMG Wendy! This video is a complete game changer!! I hate painting moulds with mica. It flies everywhere you don't want it and the colour is nowhere near as bright as it should be. This technique is an amazing idea 💡 Thank you so much for sharing 💜🥰
Thanks so much. I've been using this method for about a year or so now and find it a lot easy with small details. I really hope it works for you 😁👍
Also worth noting that it works best with white behind it 👍😁
I will definitely be trying it! I did notice that you used white. I thought black was the way to go when doing this sort of thing. Again, learning so much. Thank you Wendy 🥰💜
@@sarahunter536 I will always answer a question if I can 👍
@@Toonpish 💜🥰💜
Very pretty
Thank you very much. Thats very kind of you 👍👌😁😁😁
Beautyfull and good tip👍👍🎆
Thanks very much indeed. I think I need to do more short tip videos 😃
Awesome work 👍 I watched on speed x2 hope you don't mind, my wife will want that 😀
No problems at all Rob. Thanks for commenting and watching ☺️😁👍
Wendy i pain my wood carvings with mica mixed w gloss varnish. Works great
That sounds great 👍 💜
I learnt a lot from watching this
Good job done Hun ❣️
Hi Steve, I also learnt a lot too, she's rather good at this RUclips thing x 😆
Aww fankoo honey 😘
@@Toonpish No problem love xx 💜💜
This works on glass and pretty much everything else, too. You just have to seal in the mica, because once the alcohol evaporates, it'll come off easily.
Yes it does 😀😀😀 thanks so much for your advice Naudia 😀😀❤️
