			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Since nobody commented on my post the other day about composite mica, I started doing a little online research. I figured I can't possibly be the only crafter out there interested in using mica in my projects, so I'll share what I found out.

As it turns out, I might not be the only one, but there isn't a whole lot of information online, at least not that is easy to find. 

I searched a few phrases on google, and found some suppliers of mica flakes, mica tiles, and of course the lovely sparkly colored mica powders that are available in the scrapbooking aisle of major craft stores. I found one downloadable e-book, but it wasn't all that helpful - it explained how to use mica flakes as glitter, or as fake snow for ornaments and home decor projects, but since I'm more interested in uses for mica sheet, it wasn't quite what I was after.

If you type "composite mica" into google, the first result is my blog post from the other day. The next result has something to do with industry...not exactly what I was looking for.

The most useful article I found is <a href="http://inkstainswithroni.blogspot.com/2008/07/mica-mother-natures-glitter.html">this one on Inkstains blog about using composite mica to make charms</a> with images underneath a layer of mica. I don't know why her other posts about mica didn't come up in my search, but if you are interested, <a href="http://inkstainswithroni.blogspot.com/search/label/Mica">here's a link to all posts tagged "mica"</a> on that blog.

It seems that both sheet mica (referred to as mica tiles by the sites I found that sell it) and composite mica can be used to sandwich an image, which can then be used in a scrapbook or as part of a mixed media jewelry piece.

I plan to do more research on mica crafting so if this is something you are interested in, bookmark my blog or subscribe to the feed (there's a subscribe button in the sidebar).]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[What would you do with composite mica? 

I've used sheet mica once, in a mixed media jewelry making class taught by Susan Lenart Kazmer, and always figured if I found some cheap I would buy it to play around with.

So I bought a package of "composite mica" not realizing that it doesn't work the same way sheet mica works.

What do I do with it? Anyone out there use composite mica in their crafting? It looks like it would be fun to play with, but I'm not sure how to use it....
