The metallic finish, created by the mica particles in Fimo clay, will add a beautiful shine to your DIY projects. Metallic polymer clay is the perfect material for creating beautiful DIY jewelry using the mica shift technique.
Are you familiar with the mica shift technique? It involves creating the illusion of texture while the surface of the Fimo remains perfectly smooth, as shown in this tutorial for dangling earrings or this women’s necklace. This fascinating effect, known as the “ghost effect,” creates an impression of depth. The illusion of contrast is created by the shimmer of the mica particles.
This effect can be achieved using a texture plate or by hammering the Fimo clay, as shown in our additional photo.
What is Fimo clay? It’s a polymer clay that hardens when baked. Fimo is the best-known brand, but there are others. It’s ideal for making jewelry, magnets, keychains, figurines, and more... Check out all our tutorials for decorative items and jewelry made from polymer clay!
Very easy to shape, Fimo Effect clay isjust as pliable as Fimo Soft. Some varieties have a pearlescent, glittery, pastel, metallic, transparent, granite, or even glow-in-the-dark finish.
Have fun mixing them together to create unique effects. They can be mixed with all other clays in the Fimo line: Soft, Classic, Kids, or Pro.
