A different way to use mica powders in resin

toonpish.com/
I am a resin artist with a few years experience and wanted to share what I have learned in that time.
I hope to inspire both beginners and more experienced creators.
Showing you guys my own unique technique for 'painting', using mica powder.
Alcohol evaporates and any alcohol above 75% should be perfectly fine to mix with mica powder.
The unicorn resin mould was purchased from 'Wish' but it is available in many other places. I chose this mould because of its intricate details, with flowers, but this technique can be used on any mould.
The mould needs to be kept still after the alcohol has evaporated as the powder will then be very fragile. Try not to move the mould too much and clean any moved powder before pouring resin.
Questions and comments are always welcome.

Wendy I absolutely love this video !!! Finally I get to see how you have been creating your masterpieces 😍😍 the alcohol really does allow you to get such defined lines and detail 😍😍 just brilliant ! Great filming, lighting and overall fabness ! Xxxx

[@Toonpish]

Yes babe. Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it ! The secret is out now 😂. Thanks honey 💞

[@stephaniegorman1069]

Hi can you tell me whatvthe stuff you us to mix with the powder please

[@rudygloria2721]

@@ClairesCraftyCorner Hi Wendy it’s Rudy Thank you for your encouragement. You’re Very Kind! Yes, I think that’s absolutely a wonderful idea!!! May I have permission to use that as part of my name incorporated into it??? (Only out of respect, so as I not to assume) The Sweet Lady that you are, my concern is if I show my face, might I get harassed, sharing my experience, in resin art? I know as a male I might be safer. So I’m asking you as a woman do you get harassed? Forgive me, if I’m overstepping boundaries, it’s only a sincere question for my safety and the safety of my partner. That’s all. Sincerely & God Bless, Rudy (you know, you are the first and only person that reached out to me as I leave many comments of positivity & encouragement) so when you said, that would be epic to me, that’s One of Daniel Cooper’s lines. So I know that you meant that. Either way, The Good Lord is with me and protect me always so I’m still in good hands. Pray for me, if you are a believer Thanks 🕊️🙏🏼🕊️

[@carmitarius]

Fascinating this alcohol mixing technique, each brush stroke can be more precise without the powder flying all over

[@Toonpish]

Exactly but it’s more of a touch or dab than a stroke 😀😀❤️👍

[@SharkieFranken]

I love your video's. I've been a tattoo artist for twenty years, painted murals and pictures for most of my life. Just started playing with resins and your videos have given me major help on what I wanted to do. One thing, I see you use Rubbing Alcohol, I work in electronics as a full time job and we use Isopropyl Alcohol because it has less water added to it and dries faster and cleaner.

[@Toonpish]

Yes I use that now too 😀😀😀 it’s much better. Sounds like you are an artist and I really hope you enjoy your resin journey 😀💜

[@MileyonDisney]

[@sarahunter536]

OMG Wendy! This video is a complete game changer!! I hate painting moulds with mica. It flies everywhere you don't want it and the colour is nowhere near as bright as it should be. This technique is an amazing idea 💡 Thank you so much for sharing 💜🥰

[@Toonpish]

Thanks so much. I've been using this method for about a year or so now and find it a lot easy with small details. I really hope it works for you 😁👍

[@Toonpish]

Also worth noting that it works best with white behind it 👍😁

[@sarahunter536]

I will definitely be trying it! I did notice that you used white. I thought black was the way to go when doing this sort of thing. Again, learning so much. Thank you Wendy 🥰💜

At first I thought my eyes were getting wonky. It seemed that the alcohol added to the mica powders made them so much more vibrant. I will want to try this method in the near future😊 keep up the great work friend.

It kinda does 😀😀 but you will need to try this yourself to find it out. One thing for sure is you can control your powder more 😀😀💜👍

[@teresa6775]

I like this method. Seems easier to control...the mica doesn't go everyyyywhere. Better precision I think, but I'm just a young pup at this so you know wayyyy more than I. Beautiful !!!

[@Toonpish]

You gotta start somewhere though right 😀 and the first piece I made was green and sticky 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting Teresa 👍 If you try this method keep the mica wet with alcahol , it evaporates quickly

[@Kaycyd]

Thank you for this video! Not long ago I 'painted' a mold with mica powders. I thought the outcome would be as brilliant a color as the powders. Unfortunately, once I unmolded the item, the mica powders were actually very light. I was disappointed to say the least. Now, thanks to your video, I know what to do next time to make the colors actually shine!

[@Toonpish]

Please bear in mind that some micas will work better with dark colours behind and some will light. And the better quality micas, the better colour you get 😀💜

[@buggett]

Thank you for sharing this. I was looking all over trying to find out why my acrylic paint kept separating when I tried to paint my mold. I'll try using mica powder with alcohol as you suggested.

That is absolutely inspired! As soon as I take the lid off a pot of mica it seems to be everywhere! There are no defined lines when you paint into a larger space (or smaller) so this is going to help massively. Thanks so much. I’ve subscribed! If you’re looking for ideas what to do a video on, could I make a suggestion please? I would like to master top coating an ornament. I can do flat areas without a problem but my curved surfaces always have that orange peel dimpling effect where the resin pools. I’ve tried thin coats, thick coats, fresh resin, sanded fresh resin, sanded cured resin, using my gloved finger, a brush, thick resin, thin resin....everything! Please help someone!

Hi There, sorry I haven't responded to this comment as for some reason it got withheld. But thank you so much for the suggestion. I must admit, I hate top coating non flat surfaces as well.

What a fantastic idea. I'm new to resin & mica powders, but use them without moulds. Turning the mica into a paint is just what I was looking for. Thank you. One question, does anyone know if the alcohol would affect a glow in the dark mica pigment?

I don’t think so 🤔🤔 I haven’t tried it but I wouldn’t have thought so 😀😀💜
