Title: Best silver glass base colours
Post by: mazmeabead on November 08, 2010, 09:57:28 PM
I am wondering what colours have Bern used as base colours for silver glasses with best success or interesting results - all I know to use is the standards Ivory or Opal Yellow.

Also opal yellow is so shocky and expensive l, does anyone know a cheap alternative?

okay white is great under ekho and kalypso, and i reckon it'll work good under terra 2 as well.

i like dark lavender, pale amethyst and clear under clio

under aurae i use clear, black, pink lady/rubino/gold ruby bright, also gold violet is amazing with it.

psyche-ivory, opal yellow, porcelain, black, cobalt trans

triton-cobalt trans, black, lapis (amazing!!)

hope that give you some ideas :)
