This bowl has many coats of different mica powders over various base coats of paint. These are a few of the results. Depending on the base coats and how much of various powder was applied the reflective color can change considerably. I used a series of black, red,purple and blue as base coats. The powders were manipulated with a dry brush, Saran Wrap, a feather or a sea sponge. Each trial was covered with a coat of clear lacquer.
