Playing with Mica

This technique cam from my friend Susan "Boo" Reynolds.  She said she gets a neat effect if she sprinkles some flakes of mica onto unfired transparent.  I tried it yesterday on some disks I plan to hang on earrings.  I think it looks like snow.  The total process included counter enamel (Thompson Black), Base coat of white (Thompson Undercoat White), then Thompson Transparent in Sky with Mica.  When I was finished and the pieces were cool, I brushed off the excess mica and revealed this beautiful effect.  Keep Creating :)
