My first attempt with using resin to create a resin 'painting' wasn't altogether successful, so today I am trying something new with a different way of coloring my resin. I will be using mica pigments left over from the days when I used to make soaps and cosmetics. Let's see how they get on when mixed with resin to create art.
These old micas have really lovely colors, although I don't have a massive range of colors, but there are a lot of nice metallics and lots of them have very pretty sparkle to them. They don't cost me anything and are just sat there not being used so it makes sense to try to keep costs down when learning and experimenting.
