Violet Beaver Dust Pigment is a rich purple mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a bold violet shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a deeper purple colour with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Violet in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, galaxy-style resin pieces, floral-inspired projects, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a violet shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom purple, lavender, indigo, mauve, berry, galaxy, or jewel-tone effects.
Best Uses for Violet Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Galaxy, floral, violet, purple, lavender, and jewel-tone epoxy projects
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Resin coasters, jewelry, keychains, and small craft projects
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Violet Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Violet is a useful mica powder colour when you want a purple pigment that feels stronger and richer than lavender, but not as dark as indigo. It can work well in galaxy-style resin art, floral epoxy projects, decorative trays, coasters, handmade gifts, and woodworking projects where you want a bold purple shimmer with a polished finish.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, black backgrounds, white pearl blends, pink and purple colour palettes, silver accents, gold accents, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Violet tone, shimmer, and transparency will look in your exact resin, wax, soap base, coating, or craft material.
Why Beaver Dust Pigments Are Different
Beaver Dust Pigments are made with fine particles under 60 microns. This smaller particle size helps the pigment mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the resin cures, instead of settling to the bottom like some larger or heavier pigment particles can.
Violet is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a rich purple colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent violet shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated purple effect.
Suggested Projects
- Violet epoxy pours: Use Violet on its own for rich purple resin projects with a pearlescent mica shimmer.
- Galaxy resin art: Pair Violet with black, white, silver, blue, indigo, or colour shift pigments for night sky and space-inspired resin effects.
- Floral resin art: Use Violet with lavender, pink, white, green, gold, or silver pigments for floral-inspired colour palettes.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add violet shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Violet for bold purple epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with lavender, indigo, blue, pink, white, black, silver, or gold tones to create custom violet, mauve, berry, galaxy, and jewel-tone effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Violet mica powder is approximately 1/8 teaspoon per 1 litre of epoxy for a medium level of transparency. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, opacity, shimmer, and final effect you want.
For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Mica powder can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
