Ok, so this is definitely a work in progress.  Sigh............. the mica powder didn't adhere very well.  It's on irrid glass too, frustrating.  So I'm thinking of stamping it again (using a positioner) and trying again.  I figure it can't hurt. Any other ideas?

Did you clear cap it or is the mica on the face?  A little tip about using mica powder...only the mica in direct contact with the glass will melt in, the excess will brush off.  I've never used it with irid...do you think the coating might be causing the problem?  I say go for it again!

I didn't clear cap this one. Maybe it is the irrid - dunno. I am going to try again over top of what's there, can't make it worse right?

again, that can't hurt it either could it.  If it did work on the other side then someone would be really happy getting decoration on both sides right? Will give that a go later maybe, having way too much fun with the molds now to fuss with this messy/fussy mica powder.
