My passion is crafts - textile, metal, wood and now glass, I want to try it all, and sharing with like-minded people is an important part of it. I am a retired gold-smith living in Denmark in the countryside with my husband and our various creatures.

Playing with turquoise reactions - June 11, 2011 by admin

I was so inspiret by a bracelet made my Corina Tettinger here (scroll down till you find Etched Batique Mini Orrbs), and wanted to try making that particular colour combination/reaction, so I set out to play:

Some of the dots are made with a homemade blend of 1 part Cim Leaky pen and Effetre Petrol 218 – refered to as mix in the following recipes. E is short for effetre:

1:  E-224 + Cim leaky ink

2:  E-244 + E-036

3:  E-224 + Kugler Silver Blue

4:  E-224 + mix

5:  Cim Fremen + E-218

6:  E-232 + Leaky Pen

7:  Cim Fremen + Mix

8:  E-228 + E-218

9:  E-236 + Leaky Pen

10: Kugler turqoise + Mix

11:  Kugler turqoise + Kugler Silver Blue

12:  E-228 + Kugler Silver Blue

13:  Cim Electric Avenue + E-218

14:  E-228 + Mix

15: E-218 + Kugler Silver Blue

16:  E-218 + E-036

17:  E-224 + E-218

18:  Cim Celadon + mix

 

Maybe I need to put a name on the Effetre numbers?

Here they are:

 

E-217…………..Light Copper Green

E-218……………Petroleum Green

E-219…………….Copper green

E-224…………….Light Sky Blue

E-228…………….Dark Sky Blue

E-232…………….LIght Turquoise

E-236…………….Dark Turquoise

E-036…………….Dark Aqua

Have fun!
