Hi,
Does anyone know what Jo Downs uses for her silver inclusions. It can't be silver foil as they are sold too cheaply.
Thanks Penny

Thanks but it's more like its a sheet like copper foil but they sell them too cheaply for it to be silver foil. I did e mail and ask but no response! Surprise!

maybe a secret ingredient she likes to keep to herself which is fair enough ;)

Sorry, should have been more specific, mica mixed with flexi-glass made into sheet and cut up can look like silver or gold foil. I don't know what Jo uses, but this is an alternative to foils. Janet

Wow! Thank Janet. I didn't know that. Are there any instructions on how to do that anywhere?

You can buy the stuff from warm glass, but i think they are out of stock at the moment. Janet
