Mica Flakes/Snow

Largest Bag - 10 oz. bag of Mica Flakes/Snow - $12.00

Project Bag - Mica Flakes - $2.50

3 x 4 inch bag

Mica is a mineral that comes in a variety of colors and can be easily separated into thin transparent sheets. Processed into high quality white mica into small flakes much like the "Vintage Mica Snow" of the early 1900's. In addition to being beautiful, it's non-toxic, tough, chemically inert, transparent and waterproof. It can also withstand temperatures of over 1100 degrees!

Pictures above are Examples of Mica Flakes used on projects. Mica Flakes are used by Doll Makers, Costume Designers, Folk Art and Primitive Artists, doll house builders, Hang Tag Artists, and many more!

Many ways to use Mica Flakes!

For a SOLID look:
Use a mixture of clear white glue and water (enough to make the glue easy to paint with). Taking an old paint brush paint the area you wish to cover and then roll the item in the mica. Use your fingers to push the mica firmly into the glue. As it dries continue to smooth the flakes flat.

For a FINE MICA FLAKE or POWDER: Use a blender or food processor and make it just the size you want.

For a BRIGHT SNOW effect: Use white paint as the glue. Then roll the object in the mica flakes or sprinkle the mica onto the object. Great for pinecones.

For a MICA SHIMMER: Use a strainer to shake only the tiny flakes and powder onto your wet (glued, sprayed or painted) item.

Another example of the use of Mica Flakes by Artist David Bruce

Customers looking to purchase Briwax:
The company who was making it has closed and it is no longer available.

The good news is Lustra!
It is a fine European hard finishing wax is now available and has been personally tested and approved by Pam Gracia of "Soft in the Head" Patterns to be the alternative to Briwax for us Primitive Doll Makers.

Lustra has a superior sheen, and consistency of quality and availability over Briwax, and this is coupled with ease of application. Briwax Golden Oak is replaced with the Old Pine Lustra and the Dark Oak for the Dark Brown Lustra

Doll Makers use this wax by rubbing it into dolls/fabric with a cloth. It can be applied to painted fabric and plain fabric. It can be used as an antique or just to darken the fabric for that primmed out grungey look. It can make painted cloth look like leather when buffed. Results are an aged look on primitive and vintage cloth dolls that your gonna love!

Walnut Crystals

We've added a tips sheet and our new zippered bag has a bonus 1/2 ounce more of Walnut Crystals. The fabulous walnut ink crystals are another great way to use on aging/antiquing your primitive dolls! Walnut ink crystals are derived from the walnut shells and is a very versatile, water soluble colorant.

You can get more dramatic effects with a more concentrated (darker) solution of the crystals.

A beige heavy homespun muslin, with advertising for the feed company, were used to ship and store grain, feed and flour products in the early 1900s.
The empty sacks found other uses in the home as towels, linens or clothing, and yes, for making dolls!

This is the period where dolls were made of feed sacks and stuffed with sawdust, straw, or rags. These vintage sacks are offered to you by Cloth Doll Supply of New England as they are available to us from local Antique Shops.

In the 1930s feed sacks began to appear in a wide variety of popular colors and prints. Please keep checking back on this page as we will also be offering the printed feed sack materials.

hi Fran!
Thanks so much for getting my package right out to me, as always I'm delighted beyond description!
I've bought several things from you on blind trust. And, I've been delighted and astounded on all occasions. I loved the original stash starter.
Now I've once again discovered that you can find and pick out such fabulous things, I don't know how you do it! You certainly have sources like no other. I've spent countless hours on eBay searching for vintage items with which to fabricate and embellish my dolls, and I still cannot come up with the wonderful things
you find. I absolutely know that I can purchase from you sight unseen, and I will not only love it , but it'll be finer that what I can find on my own. Not to mention the time you save me. AND, your treasures for the most part have been less expensive than wholesale.
Fran, you have an eye... I can't wait to open the next package of antique stash starters.
The "Pieces From the Past" you put together for me is far lovelier than I could've imagined!
I cannot thank you enough for your unparalled quality and attention to detail.
Blessings,
Lynne de Velazquez,
Prairie Rose Primitives
