Pros : I experimented with this before I used it on the piece I wanted. I mixed it with paint medium and brushed on and then did a dry powder sift. I wanted a fairy dust effect so went with the dry powder sift. The result is brilliant! I did another by air brushing on translucent. Let it dry and then covered. Just adds a glow!
Cons : All Mica powders need to be experimented with before you use on your final piece. Keep in mind that is has to be fused between glass and even if you brush on wet or air brush wet when it dries it will smear if not covered right away.
Other Thoughts : Be sure and keep it within 1/4 inch of the edge. Any mica not covered with another layer of glass will just fall away.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
