Brown glass?

[Mand]

Hi again,

I have been making more and more brown coloured beads this autumn - I have plenty of dark, med and light amber, and dark brown bog standard poo coloured (sorry) effetre.  Are there any other minky-shade browns out there which are inexpensive? _ I'm thinking of etching which prob puts CIM Mink out of the picture?  Am just SO NOT a brown /green person as I usually like clear, bright colours



Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Thanks.

Can't remember how well it etches ... bit CIM Stoneground is lovely .... and if you can still get it, Canyon de Chelly .... oh and Effetre red roof tile is lush

Thank you!

heh .. no probs

have you looked at CiM Maple?

I am having the same problem.

Effetre seem to just do crayon chirpy brown and nothing more sophisticated.

(Would you like me to go through my colour chart this evening? )

Cim maple is nice and it etches from what I remember.

That's a lovely bead Les!  I've got some stoneground stashed.

I adore stoneground .... it's very reactive with silver too

for earthy browns i like sediment and mud slide

One of my faves.. Lauscha Cocoa. 

It's good enough to drink

second that one.

or heat the snot out of CiM peace in a slightly reducing flame, it goes streaky brown then whack a thin layer of amber over it.
