Here is my first experience with using mica sheets. I had never heard of using mica in jewelry design until I read a blog post about it (...and my mind not retaining what it use to can not fine that post, sorry) It is a very cool lightweight material and and takes a stamp very well. Using Stazon ink pads I stamped the mica and attached it to a textured piece of sheet brass. The gorgeous enamel bead dangling below the pendant is from Barbara Lewis and it adds the burst of color this piece needs. You can find this necklace in my ArtFire shop.
You can find mica at Ornamentea.com
Oh, I love it Judy! I was just thinking of buying some mica...I love the look. May I asked how you adhered it to the brass?
