A disheveled appearance belied her joy at the copious production of mica from her previously defunct mine.
I've had this collection of mica flakes for a while now but kept forgetting to use them. Previously, I planned on using it for her hair but then decided what could be more LUSH than a fully functioning mica mine? (YUP - my idea of lush is different than most peoples', LOL)

Really beautiful. I love using old book pages and how the words show through the artwork. Yours is lovely and the mica flakes are lush, indeed.
Beautiful face and I like the text in the backround. What is coming...it is interesting to wait...
I love mica, and the colors you used for in your portrait compliment it perfectly.
Happy PPF,

I agree with the other comments so far, this is really beautiful, lovely work!

She is elegant - the mica is a perfect 'filler' for this portrait. Great work.

beautiful Michelle!! Funny , I recently began revisitng my mica bits and am using them once again too :)
I have a few old books specifically for this, but can bear to use them. . . yet. The mica chips are great. Blessings, Janet PPF
I'm with you - when I was a kid I collected all those rocks with the shiny specks (basically mica I think) and carried this heavy case full of them wherever I went. Love the face and love all the mica glitter!
She may be a bit disheveled but she's still beautiful. And what a lucky girl to have a mica mine!!
Gorgeous! I love the way you've matched the colours in the hair with the mica flakes.
Happy Paper Saturdays! ManonX
