Product Info
The Tiny Turner’s Ethereal Flakes are made from thin slivers of mica with an incredible color-shifting chameleon effect. Depending on the angle they are viewed, or how the light interacts with them, the pigments will appear the shift through an array of colors – some through two of three and others displaying a multitude of different shades
Four steps to success
- Prepare the surface by sanding and sealing (optional). An undulating or carved surface provide maximum effect of color shift by a single point of view.
- Add black color as a background to ensure the most impressive look. The product can be added to other background colors for a more subtle effect.
- Add the gilding size (adhesive) to the area where the mica pigment or flake will be applied. Be sure to let the size setup according to the instructions.
- Use a fluffy brush to transfer the mica powder from the jar to the project and swirl the brush around to set the mica into place.
Can be sealed with polyurethane varnish or multiple coats of gloss lacquer (or can be left without a finish on top as this can dull the vibrancy of the colors).
The flakes are easily applied to any sealed, wooden surface using gilding size. We do recommend a base layer of black is laid down first as these colors are most impressive when applied into a black background but can be added to different backgrounds for more subtle outcomes
All the Ethereal range of flakes can be used in resin art, although less is certainly more to get the best effects! Add a small amount into your resin to create a swirling rainbow of colors that change as you view them from different angles
Spectre boasts a color-shift of violet-blue to purple. This matching Ethereal pigment to this flake is Dark Matter
