Color Recommendations BE

[Curly Irish Girl]

I am taking a floral class in a couple of weeks - the glass to be used is BE - we supply our own glass for the class - I use Moretti & Vetrofond and other 104 but not BE. Recommendations on colors/numbers for florals, petal cane, leaves/vines?????

Thanks!

Well, any of the pinks would look great for the flowers. They have a nice transparent kelly green and a nice opaque green 126 - spring green. They have a bunch of new browns/neutrals and greens if you want more warm/fall colors, two of my favorites are 203, woodland brown and 212 olive green. Watch out, their black spreads a lot. If you make vine cane, make sure you case over the black. If you buy clear, buy Schott clear, not the BE, the BE transparents and clear can be bubbley. Here is a link to the BE rods.
