Well, that's certainly decided it for me, that's a BIG mica NO!

Just think, for a short sweet time you were the most glamorous lampworker in the world ever. It's not everyone who covers themselves and their work surface in gold you know

oooh errr i just ordered myself some gold last week - its not here yet but i had better keep it well under control especially as i am still working on the kitchen table...

I don't use it for lampworking, but from my experience the best way to deal with it is just to designate a Sparkly Day, and make mica powdered beads, and only mica powdered beads, on those days. Believe me, even if you think you've got rid of all the sparkles, there'll be bits there for the rest of the day.

i can honestly say i've never had a problem with mica powder going everywhere or rubbing off. i keep it int eh plastic jars it comes in and dunk the bead into it (being super careful not to touch the sides!) and give it a swirl then put it back in the flame. sparkles contained! lol!
