Thanks for this Edna! I used Jaqaurd mica powder and put in way too much alcohol! I'll try again and if it doesn't work I'll purchase the Mehron. Yours moves and blends much better!

Thank you! Been going crazy looking for a nice gold ink😩 now I can make my own.

I have used 91% alcohol, with cheap mica powder from Amazon-I feel like it works well, but it needed to sit for 24 hrs to taint the alcohol well. I am a newbie at AI, so not sure if my opinion is great-but it did work. I bought color changing powders that I am trying-I love them in the resin so I thought I would try them in the paintings. You do have to spray coat your painting-the powder does rub off so easily. Wondering if there is an additive I could use to make it bond better???????
