Color Combos/Recipes for Silver Glass Murrinis

[carrieb]

Would anyone like to share their color combinations/recipes for silver glass murrinis? I made one and it was not the best choices of colors. I used transparent colbalt as the core, opal yellow, nyx and reduced it, transparent colbalt with intense black lines. If you looked really hard you could see something of a pattern but mostly the colors were too dark. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I like to mix light and dark colors. While the trans cobalt, opal yellow and nyx sound nice, the trans cobalt might be too dark and I find that if you don't encase the intense black, you run the risk of webbing.

The colbalt was too dark so without having a magnifying glass handy you wouldn't know it was anything more than a dark circle. Oh well lesson learned. Thanks for the tip on using light & dark colors. I was almost there. CarrieB

maybe try a large opal yellow base with thinner stringers of of the blue & nyx? looking forward to hearing more good combos. I tend to do just two none reactive colors. A bit boring.

Mia that is a good idea. Maybe make my core OY, then nyx, then OY with blue stringer. Haven't had much time this week to spend on this and its too cold for any torch work for me. I'm hoping next week Thank you
