A weird thing with copper green

[Rachel]

To all of you with a lot of experience, this little nugget of information will not be any new news. I had a weird reaction with copper green this weekend. I heard that you can encase it with clear and pull it into a stringer for beautiful vines. so, I did this and noticed that the thing was pink. That was odd so I kept thinking it would go back green when it cooled but it din't and I really liked the color pretty well but it remained pink. I finally realized I had encased it with a vary pale blue transparent instead of clear so blue on top of copper green makes a pretty pinkish purple. I don't see a need for any pink vines for anything but it was pretty cool to me but I still need to make some green vines.

Try it as a flower. Use the copper green as a petal and then put trans lt blue over it. You get an outline from the copper green reacting to the base bead, the copper green then outlines a purply petal.

let me see what I can do....

are you talking about the stringer or a flower with the dots? I don't have a flower done yet.
