Hello dear Finnabair friends,
Here’s a simple, easy, and very handy way to use the new Finnabair Winter 2022 Mica Powders. They are one of my absolute favourite mixed media products because of a simple reason: they make it so very easy to get matching embellishments for art journaling or collage art, even lace and fabric. And that is truly wonderful!
Here’s how to do it. (And believe or not, this is easier done than said).
Take your chosen lace/silk/fabric stash and the powder you want to use, and some jar/plate/place to mix the powder. A water spray bottle is handy but not necessary.
If you are sure the project they end up, is not to be touched every five minutes (e.g. art journal page) you can use water only to mix the powder. However, if you are going to use the laces or fabric in a collage or canvas or any other project, you’ll be using water or mixed media products afterwards, you might want to consider using Soft Matte Gel. This will ensure the laces won’t bleed the colour into your project later.
Mix the powder with water of Soft Matte Gel.
Spraying the lace or fabric with water first to make sure it moist and absorb the colour evenly might be a good idea.
Dip the material into the powder mix gently. Depending on how strong colour you want, adjust the powder and the water amount.
After dipping it to the powder mix, spray some more water to the material and press it inside your palms as long as it take for the colour to blend.
Let dry.
Please note. Do NOT use a heating tool to dry synthetic fabrics, they’ll melt or burn!
A tip! If you want a sparkling project, add some Jewel Paste onto the materials, too!
