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!
Picture 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.

Flakes by Artist David Bruce

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. By purchasing the walnut crystals and
mixing it on your own (you just need warm water for this), you
can make the ink any hue of brown that you want. You can get
more dramatic effects with a more concentrated (darker) solution
of the crystals.
