Hello dear Finnabair friends,
Here’s a lovely idea for using the new Finnabair Winter 2022 Mica Powders. They are easy to use and are a brilliant product for all kinds of home décor projects. I made some little home décor eggs to show an example of how-to.
I had a plastic egg made of two pieces, so I wanted to make sure I’m priming it well, so it’ll hold together. That’s why I added some tissue paper with Soft Matte Gel on top. But if you have, let’s say, a wooden décor piece, this part isn’t necessary at all.
I primed the piece with white Heavy Gesso. This makes sure the surface won’t absorb the paints etc. unevenly. Next step was making some moulds. I used air dry clay and glued the pieces immediately in place with PVA glue, and let it dry overnight. Then I primed the whole thing with gesso again for the same reason as earlier: this makes sure the whole piece reacts like I want it to with the products I’m using later.
Choose the powders you want to use and play with the colours as much as you like. I used only water for painting and sealed the whole thing with Clear Antiquing Wax later (a fixative would do nicely, too). You can, of course, use a medium that’ll do the job, too, like Soft Gloss Gel.
Mix the powder with water of Soft Matte Gel, and paint with a brush. It’s like using any normal paint. You just mix the colours you want. I added some darker shadowing onto the base of the clay ornaments. It will add a whole new depth to the decor piece.
Let dry.
