What kind of mix-ins can I use in epoxy resin?
You can use anything, spices, eyeshadow, paints… the challenge is that with some of those things may not be stable long term. Dr. Martins watercolors have been recommended to me.
I’ve used tumeric and it changes color! From yellow to red when you mix it with epoxy!
And I suspect pigments would work well, you can buy them here:

What do you use?
Hi Elaine,
I too use natural pigments that I bought about 20 years ago! They’re originally piments that are used to make make-up but, I bought them to mix with my paint when I was making room screens/dividers. They’re great because as they’re originally used for make-up preparations, they have a lot of sparkle to them. You can get some great chatoyant colors with them.
I also just bought some transparent dyes from WLW but, they’re still in the mail on their way here to France. I’ll let you know what I think once they arrive. Gotta try the spices… ;o)

Thanks Kenji!
And there was a post on Orchid about using Koh-i-nor pencils.
