I already have the following colours:
Northstar:
amber purple (my personal fav), double amber purple, light blue amber purple, green amber purple, ruby, yellow 09, pomegranite, rust, multi, turquesa (never gotten any colour out of this), aurora, caramel, blue caramel
GA:
Silver strike 5
Triple Passion
Momka:
Silver dance
Silver iris
blue lightning
Green envy
I really have had very very limited sucess with the boro I do have. I bought most of the northstart to use in the boro cookbook. I did make some ok beads but I don't think I have quite 'gotten' boro yet.
What combinations of the above colour beads could I use to get easy results? Give me instructions on what to do including flame atmosphere PLEASE HELP ME!
The recipes in the cookbooks are obviously good just I think I screw em up!
I want to try the 10mm clear encased with pomegranite then encased with 09 yellow twisted and pulled down to 6mm to make the pink panther beads in it. Is it easy to get it to turn pink?
Also have I maybe not got my kiln up high enough. I have it at 1050 do you need to bring it up higher to strike pinks etc?
Ok my main question is if I am going to buy more momkas and northstar (and maybe ga but probably not)
What colours do you suggest I buy that are foolproof but also have really nice effecs??
