How to Paint Polymer Clay with Mica Powder

How to paint your polymer clay creations with mica powder before baking. I've found that if I paint my polymer clay jewelry with mica powder before the baking process that the mica adheres to the piece and very little, if any, rubs off when it completely hardens. Some pieces I leave as is while others I may use a matte varnish to seal it in. It all depends on how much mica was used. Using colored clay will allow you to use less mica and it will have less chance of rubbing off. Since I used a beige clay with the two pieces I show in the video, quite a bit mica got on my fingers after they were baked so they will need a coating added. In this video, I demonstrate the technique on a quartz crystal piece that I have added polymer clay to the end to create a pendant.

This is the first video is a series that I plan to release first to my patrons on Patreon then release on YouTube two months later. However, with it being the first, I decided to release it on all my platforms to let my viewers and patrons know the style of my videos and what I intend to share in the future. While I didn't intend it that way, I must admit that this video turned out having an asmr quality to it. #polymerclay #makingjewellery #asmr
