Right this is driving me bonkers. I need a solid reliable orange opaque for my beaks and toes.
I thought I nailed it and for a long time, I got nice solid orange colour from what I was using. I thought I was using an effetre orange but it now seems I have gotten totally mixed up with my labels (again!!) I blame my visitors that pick up rods look at them and put them in the wrong tube. :( Well got to blame some one ::)
Any suggestions? I lower my flame heat when applying small quantities of orange but even thats not working :(
Each time I mess up a beak it ruins the entire piece. Unless I overpaint with low fire enamels, but I want to get it right first time.
HALP
might of found the problem, or solution. CIM pumpkin. and of course I've just sold all my CIM haven't I. grrrr.
Effetre coral ? Not exactly a true orange as such but would probably look nice for a beak ?
Might give that a go this afternoon Lynnybobs, its orangey yellow so might work. Or it might just look like dirty beak.
Saying this, I had a lady who bought a carribean green owl with a dirty looking beak. Out of the 50 I had on the table I wasn't expecting that one to go!
going to see if I've got a rouge cim rod around. If not I'm going to go on the beg for one. lol
pumpkin is nice, but how about effetre apricot?
I always used Effetre Dark Yellow - don't be put off my the name, it is a light orange to my eyes :)
