Mica Shift technique polymer clay tutorial 084

I have created this polymer clay tutorial on how to obtain mica shift in polymer clay specially for beginners in the polymer clay world. I tried to explain why the phenomenon happens, and give you not just a more-depth insight on the "why" and the "how" of this technique but also give you a few tips on how to achieve a good mica shift effect. This technique was initially taught by Mike Buesseler in the 1990s. The technique was then perfected by other artists, of which the most notable one is Dan Kormier. There can still be found online many tutorials on pcpolyzine dating 2000-2001. If you just discovered my channel, don't forget to like, subscribe and share with your friends!

That means you will have mastered the technique and you will be able to start tweaking it and putting your personal touch to it and grow as an artist. Just please do not copy the tutorial itself and don't present as yours my techniques. It might not be illegal but it's not ethical.
