I was delighted to finally have some cosmic shimmer powders. I tested them out today and it was a lot of fun. You use such a tiny amount it will last for years. Each one gives different effects. The copper in this one has high metallic shine and a touch of a couple other colors sparingly. Wonderful!
This one has some of that red-orangey fall color copper has when you powder it up enough so take it easy if you want the softer tone. Is does have a lot of fine Mica sparkle reflecting from this, so it's very gorgeous! I tried experimenting various ways and even worried about the water ruining the sparkle because I added a huge glob! (I was afraid because I've never used it before so I didn't know what to expect; also I did it on a very thin drawing paper to test it) it came out just fine, and this was with the paper towel soaking it up most of it without patting it down. It's basically idiot proof, but I do really recommend that you test and play with it first but it's hard to ruin art work with this unless you are meticulous, like myself and want specifics for certain things. Here's a great link showing all the colors, (as i have them all) but unless you see it in person, neither my description or this video link does it justice! Amazing, versatile product that is well worth investing because you can put this in ANYTHING! Water, glues, paints, inks, mediums.

Ancient Copper isn't just copper, it has other colors (blues and pinks) mixed in and they are quite prominent, and very disappointing when you are going for a certain look.
