What colors do neat things with copper foil?

[Kevan]

I'm getting some and want to do something neato with it.

I have seen some really neat blues and greens you can get, but I don't remember what base colors those are.

I'm not sure it depends on the base glass as much as what you use with it. Try with some light colored enamels over or under the foil. Try with silver leaf or foil. Try encasing it. You'll get cool effects. Don't freak when it turns all crisp and black, that's what it does.

I really like it with silver pink or copper green. It's more blue (robin's egg-ish) on the silver pink than it is on the green.

I love rubino over the white/enamel/copper combination. It turns a lovely magenta color.

I like wrapping a bead with it, heating it a bit then encaseing the bead with transparent and really heating it up. the whole layer where the foil was turns into a galaxy of the smallest bubbles. really wild.

I usually use ivory or clear. Haven't tried it with other bases yet, but it's on my list of things to try :D

Oh, this is good stuff. I want to try it. I'll see if I can get some tomorrow.

Lets not forget the solid black core with copper the encased in clear. It turns a luscious deep red. Make designs in the foil (mesh, wire, etc.) and you have some gorgeous beadies!
