To imbue your lines with even more reflective intrigue, expand your materials lists to include mylar sheets and craft foil. These reflective sheets hug the surface of polymer clay, wood, paper, glass and more to add intrigue, depth and dimension.

Keep things colorful with opal gemstone cabochons and beads or even sea "opal" glass beads and shiny metals, such as seamless sterling silver and gold beads, can also produce a similar effect. Use mica powder to create dichroic-look jewelry and other lustrous details.
