I will be covering this topic on a live in crafting together with all brands on Friday Oct 23rd at 1pm, if you are interesed in joining.
This was the most fun I have had watching a video since I have watched arts and crafts videos, including my favorite which is cardmaking. It was like watching an art scientist. I will be looking for your other videos!💝
Awhhh thank you so much glad you enjoyed .. I do love the alchemy of playing with pigment powders x
I havent yet used my artez for anything however I do love playing with my alcohol inks with a small air compresser. WOW you should try it .
Thank you will need to give it a try x
i use a few drops of clove oil in my water and spray bottle...this too stops bacteria and smells nice too as well as preserving them love Alli XXX
That sounds gorgeous, I will need to try that next time xx
You can also use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to keep away bacteria .
Fab video with lots of great info. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Shiny Silver treasures thank you x
Gum Arabic... makes the mica 'watercolors' permanent. 1 part G.A. powder to 3 parts mica powder.
I have always been told to use distilled water whenever adding to paint, powders, etc. I guess that is what you probably achieve by boiling your water. Tap water would certainly go bad and cause lots of ruined products. I have tons of mica powders (got a bagfull at a yard sale) and about 10 or so pigment powders. Thanks for doing this video. I am going to have such fun playing! 😊
Have fun with your new mica powders x
Thank you great to see different methods
OMG I need to live another 50 years to get to play with all this stuff. I have a lot of these items but didn't know they could be used in so many ways.
It was like looking at ink blots when u used the droppers. Lol Very informative video. Do u need to add a binder to the watercolors. I mix powdered gum arabic with mine to help it stick to the paper better or don’t I need to add that? The embossing powder was really cool. I have not seen mica used like that.
TBH I have never used a binder and I get on ok just using water but there is no problem using a binder if you need too …. I may have to give that one a try x

I actually like the soft shades produced with alcohol. They'd be great for flowers.

Is soapy mica the same? Other words are there different type of micas? Can soapy mica be used for these techniques?
I'm just guessing at how we do it I need to know
are all mica powders the same eg like the ones you buy from Aliexpress
Like all products there are differences in quality. You would be able to do all these techniques but you mind find a difference in opacity and depth of colour in a cheaper product xx
hi is the isopropol 70 % or or 91 %.. i have 91 % with me
It is the 91% I have x
Can you use mica to cloak or make things invisible?
How do the USA and Canada use mica to make tanks invisible?
This is something that is out with my knowledge of the craft product being discussed in the video
You can add a little pva glue to the water sprays, this stops it from rubbing off when dry, also it dries clear, so there's no interference with the sheen. Great video 👍
Mica is used to make weapons and soldier's invisible
An absolutely great technique video, but every one I've watched shows mica powder in water?....NO ONE explains how to set it?
and I know for a fact it magically blows away after drying Argghhhh lol....
I understand that there are Mica powders under Brand names that are not Just Mica powder.
why does No one Explain how to set basic Mica Powder?
Thank you for your feedback.. I will do some research & see if we can create a new & more up to date video 😘😘 xx
Hochanda are not charging 4.99, they want 30quid for four!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tina, sorry prices were correct at time of filming ... I just had a quick look on Hochanda & they are currently £23.99 for 4 www.hochanda.com/product/84032/pretty-gets-gritty-pretty-explosion-powders-set-2-cupid-unicorn-poseidon-and-zeus/793010 ... so I am not sure where the price discrepancy has occurred x
@@JuliaMcNeillCrafts oh I just worked it out, it’s because I live in France they are showing 29.99 euros, what a swizz
