Gently burnishing your mica once it's on the clay with your fingers will mask ALL fingerprints and make the mica less "flecked/coarse". Your texture sheet is gorgeous!

This was amazing. The whole video I kept thinking, "well that looks OK.." Them BAM! They dry and look like they were made my angels! This is absolutely beautiful end results. I LOVE using stamp pads with polymer clay. I tear them off their blocks and roll a pin over them, atop clay. It works amazingly well! Just apply even pressure, or use things on side of the rolling pin for an even effect.

Hi, really enjoyed your video and plan to watch more of what you have created. Curious if the fade factor of alcohol ink ever bothers you. Perhaps the use of mica powders would slow that down. i have had no experience with alcohol inks fading but have read that it is a definite issue most often occurring more quickly with sunlight.

I just subbed and belled, now the comment and save. I will reserve sharing until I binge! LOL I have a few questions. 1. I have only heard one tutorial channel mention room temp. After nearly 3 years of "playing" with poly, I thought I had it figured out but humidity in my home seems to affect this issue. Any thoughts? 2. I am a messy artist, always have been. It seems my mistakes (for instance when my clay gets contaminated because I didn't clean the pasta machine well after using red or black), do you have any suggestions besides the bottle brush and a needle tool with a paper towel attached. I have tried a Q tip but I don't like the strings of cotton that get into the clay. I save every single bit of clean clay because I am disabled and pretty much house and bedridden so money is precious. 3. I just bought my first bottles of alcohol ink but am loathe to spend the kind of money Amazon wants for 99.8% Iso. We tried the local pharmacy and some hardware stores. No one has it. Any suggestions? (I do have Prime because all my gifts and craft needs are either through them or I force hubby to shop for me).

I've never seen anyone hammering a texture sheet before. I use a rolling pin. Or..if I'm feeling lazy,I'll just stack a few books on it and leave it for a minute. Perfectly even texture. I don't use the plastic wrap,it bevels the edges to much and makes it harder to resin. I also bake on ceramic tile,but place a sheet of parchment paper over it. It keeps the backs smooth. Videos like this are perfect for exploring other options

I don't know your expertise with that, but that's what I'm really interested in learning right now. I use the paints to cover lightswitch covers, magnets, boxes, etc., and they are so fun to use. I switched allegiance from alcohol inks (which are also great fun) as soon as I discovered them. But then, as you know, we are always rushing around after the latest enthusiasm.
