I echo Pauline. Your bracelet is just beautiful and so is your necklace.
Awesome, I have a set of many colours of mica and lots of stencils. I am going to have a play.
Thank you for another fun project to try!
This is so great! Thanks Jan and Cool Tools for these great videos! Can you do crackle enamel next? 😁
Thank you for sharing🌹
This is fantastic! Thank you :)
I'm amazed!! Is this a specific acrylic medium for enamelling or can I use any acrylic medium? I have Golden brand acrylic media. I don't have a kiln so I'd be firing it. Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE your cuff bracelet! ❤❤❤ Did you make it?
Your tutorial was pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Jill did you make your cuff bracelet? Love it. Your beautiful necklace is fantastic too.
I agree about her cuff bracelet! I couldn't take my eyes off of it so I had to go back again and watch the video and not fixate on Jan's bracelet. Has she made a video or book that explains how she made it?
I could not find these pink stencil from cool tool,,the blue one I bought are a bit too big in design for small pieces of jewelry ,,so where can I buy the pink one. Thanks
Hello, the pink silk screens are Helen Breil Silk Screens. They show a black and white graphic on the website so you can see the design, but the actual silk screen is pink. You can find them here: www.cooltools.us/searchresults.asp?Search=helen+breil+silk+screen
If you use silk screen medium, it will not burn off in the kiln it will all stay on the product
Can you layer more enamel on top of the mica?
Are mica powders just pure mica powder? I have a bunch from a different art project and would love to know
Hello, our mica powders are pure micas that contain no animal products and have not been tested on animals. They are exclusively sourced from ethical supply lines.
Love the way they came out! what is the kiln temperature and how long are they fired?
Hello, you can use what ever temperature was used to fuse the enamel that you applied the mica to. When mica is fired on a piece you basically just re-fire the enamel to accept the mica. 1400 - 1450° F is always recommended. Hope this helps!
Can this be torch fired?
Hi Linda,
Yes, you can use a torch to fire the enamel and mica in this technique. Thanks for asking!
Karen
Can I use a fire torch to set the mica powder?
Yes, mica powder can be torch fired. Thanks for watching!
Is the mica powder used here the same as the mica used in soap making?
Hi, we are not familiar with which micas are used in soap, as we are a jewelry making company. You can find our mica powders here: www.cooltools.us/Mica-Powder-s/2744.htm
Thanks for watching!
Are these Mica powders made especially for vitreous enameling?
Hi Marie, mica powders are non-tarnishing and universal. They can be combined with virtually any medium, including vitreous enamels.
@@cooltoolsvideos Thank you! So happy you have all of these videos! Makes life fun
Hi Jan. I was wondering if you have had success using this technique with any other dry or wet unleaded enamels in lieu of the mica. Thank you for your help.
Hi Jill, we reached out to Jan regarding your question and she answered: "If you can grade sift the enamel so it is very fine, it can be treated the same way -what goes through a 325 mesh sifter.
The particles have to be small enough to pass through the mesh of the screen.
The sunshine enamels work well but it uses up quite a bit of the material"
Hope this helps!
@@cooltoolsvideos Thank you so much. You have been such an inspiration.
@@cooltoolsvideos I was wondering if Thompson liquid enamels for brushing (they are very fine particles) could be pushed through the screens. They can be mixed from the powder to make a thick enamel "paste".
@@jackberry5757 Hi Jack, we have not tested this; however it sounds like something that would be feasible. Because we have not tested this, we cannot guarantee that it would work. Thank you for watching.
Can you torch fire the mica on?
Hi Judy, yes, mica can be torch fired into enamel. Thanks for watching!
Can this technique be used on any of the metal art clay prior to firing?
Hello,
This technique of applying mica can only be done to enameled surfaces, it will wipe off if there is not enamel underneath the Mica for it to fuse to.
Karen
can this be fires in a kiln?
HI Elaine, yes, this project is actually fired in a kiln for this video and is the preferred method. Thanks so much for watching!
What is the name of the gel medium?
