I've made a couple of nice sets this weekend with a dark ivory base, & copper green & rubino oro. Just wondered if there's any other glass that Copper reacts nicely with? I've tried a couple of other opaque bases but the copper green looks really flat & boring :-\ ...any ideas?

I use a base of copper green, with stringers of eff acid yellow, coral and apricot yellow - they all give a thin back line. Also silver leaf can be interesting.

not a reaction tip, but I like to mix silvered ivory stringer and then etch the whole thing. It really looks gret etched.
