There was a bit of a mix up as Isa'sArt worked with the fragments instead of the leafing/gilding flakes. But the project is beautiful and would work with leafing too, so I post it anyway.
Those Mica fragments can be glued to your projects, heated, embossed or even, as Isa did here, used with UTEE (or andy embossing powders) to make pendants
Here's how she did it.
1- She used a melting pot to heat the plain metal pendant
2- She then sprinkled some embossing powder(s) on the hot metal
3- She added the fragments over the hot (melted) powder (You could use gilding flakes too) which "sink" in the hot embossed piece.
4/ Take it off the melting pot and let it cool for a while
And you get this... isn't it gorgeous?

So have fun with your melting pot/powders and flakes and we shall see you tomorrow
Don't forget to come and show us if you try this technique ;)

Wow Izzy this looks fab stuff, I dont have a melting pot and I have spent up for now but have added them to my wish list, I love it with the glitter thank you for sharing Hugs Elaine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces. I have two pots of these (bought because they looked pretty!) but have never used them. Thanks for the inspiration. x
ReplyDeleteWow this is a gorgeous effect.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous project as ever from Isa. Must admit to having looked at these fragments but never bought or used any . . . . yet!

Des idées géniales et un résultat somptueux.Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteStunning, I only bought some of these at Craft Barn a few weeks ago and havent used them yet so what a fabulous idea to use them on a pendant.....
ReplyDeleteI have been curious about those fragments and how to use them so this post is most welcome ! The inclusion technique is a brilliant idea.
