Colors that react with Copper Green

[BGillen]

I've been playing with my copper green for a couple of days now and haven't seen any really obvious color reactions with any of the colors I've combined it with.

What colors to you use it with and how do you get it to react???

I pulled a bead from the kiln this morning and had a nice surprise.. Used rubino and silver with a touch of the copper green and ended up with beautiful, white, turquoise designs surrounding the rubino dots.... going to have to play with it some more....

Wow, that is georgeous. What color did you use as the base???

I used a medium amethyst transparent color, rolled in silver, dotted with rubino, swirled a little copper green between the rubino dots and then melted in and burn off silver. I think I then put a light transparent pink over the rubino to give them some depth...then shaped into a heart.....

I really dig making a copper green base, randomly squiggling a very thin mosaic green stringer allover, then melting it all in. Cook the bead a little and you get a really cool effect... tealy & pastel blues and some complementary greens. The key is to use the mosaic green sparingly and really melting it in.

Copper green reacts with many different colors. Try decorating with stringer designs or dots of any of the following: silvered ivory, dense black, rubino, silvered rubino and purple.

One of my favorite things to do with copper green is to cover it with silver and burn it off. The affect is wonderful. BUT I don't have any photos of those still saved to my hard drive, so this is the one you get. IT is ivory, copper green, coral and edp.
