Can anyone suggest which opaque glass would be good to give a lovely 'magenta' colour??? ???
Would you say that magenta is the same as fuchsia? Avoiding any silver glass combinations, I'd say maybe Reichenbach Pink Lady?
xx
I'd say it's pretty darn close to fuchsia with a hint of purple maybe!!! will check the pink lady out, thanks xxx
Isn't pink lady a transparent though?? I need an opaque xx
No true magenta - although some of the Bullseye colours come close.
You can encase Effetre periwinkle blue with rubino oro for a nice magenta/purple.
Oooh Sally that sounds like a solution, I'll give it a go tonight ;D
Thank you
A couple of the silver glasses go a lovely opaque pinky/purple/magenta, when reduced/encased..
This is a mix of Clio and Kalypso, over ivory...

This made a gorgeous colour but I need to make tiny flowers with the glass and when i pinch the petals the colours separate!!!

poop.....well - have you got any enamels? You can make nice colour mixes by mixing in enamel - say blue enamel into a pink rod. You have to mix really really well but they can create nice homogenous colours.
How are you making the flowers? Are they on the surface of the glass or are they encased?
