Aurora Lights - Dot Card

Aurora Lights is a collection of 6 handmade, mica watercolors inspired by the colors of the northern and southern lights. This listing is for a sample-sized palette/dot card. Each dot is big enough for several uses. Dot cards are perfect if you like trying a lot of different colors, or if you want to test out colors/formulas before investing in larger sizes. 

Aurora Lights dot cards include:

- Borealis, a bright pink with blue shimmer 
- Electron, a bright purple with pink shimmer
- Ionosphere, a sparkly white
- Australis, a lime green with gold shimmer
- Plasma, a racing green with subtle gold pearl
- Magnetic Midnight, a deep, shimmery blue (not actually magnetic, that's just the name)

DETAILS

Ingredients: Micas, distilled water, gum arabic, vegetable glycerin, and clove leaf oil. The dots come on a 4.5x3 inch piece of cellulose watercolor paper.

Lightfastness: All the pigments used to color the micas in this collection have excellent lightfastness ratings, except for one pigment used in Magnetic Midnight-- ferric ferrocyanide, or Prussian Blue. Prussian Blue fades when exposed to light as a watercolor paint, but how much and how fast it fades varies depending on many factors. I highly recommend performing a lightfastness test if you need to be certain how this, or any, paint will perform. All the other pigments have excellent lightfastness.

I use pigment-based inks for stamping/writing on my dot cards. They will not smear if they get wet.

SAFETY

The colors in this collection are nontoxic when used as intended, as artist paints. They are not formulated and have not been tested for any other purpose.

Keep silica gel packets away from small children and pets-- they're choking hazards.
