“Human use of mica dates back to pre-historic times. Mica was known to ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations, Chinese civilization, as well as the Aztec civilization of the New World.” Wikipedia Article
Mica is a natural and very old stone which is a great component for use in jewellery. It can just be cut with scissors into the shape needed and then heated, embossed or coloured. I have created a pair of earrings teaming the mica with memory foil tape. I also used metal charms and chain to jazz it up in our Mica Monarch Earrings above.
Just like the glimmer glass which we had featured last month, the glimmer glass chipboard elements are made of the same materials, but have a self adhesive back and the creme de cocoa features stunning vintage components. Also available in delicious creme de cocoa.
In this lovely owl necklace, I have used two of the owl pieces out of a creme de cocoa packet. I have then used the memory tape in aluminium to edge it and complemented it with 22 gauge wire and golden shadow and mocca swarovski crystals. A packet of glimmer chips includes 36 pieces and can be drilled, adhered, punched and used also in combination with bails.
