What do you do with Copper Green...

[sugarenie]

I just got some copper green glass and am wondering...

What do you make with your Copper Green glass?...

[Candyann]

Perhaps this should be in a different room??? But anyways, when u use it on cream and get it really hot it does some cool things.

Here's some copper green with edp and powder pink:

It also looks pretty with ivory, and I usually like copper green when it's etched :)

OMG Ginny those beads are beyond breathtaking wow wow wow.

Delicious Ginny!


I love it with coral too.

It is a pretty slate blueish color on black.

Yummy with glow frit, it turns goldish and gets teal where the frit has pushed it aside.

It turns Fish Pink into lavender with brown lines of seperation if you use more copper green than fish pink

I love to use Copper Green and let is spark and devitrify like it wants. It creates some wonderful effects! I love it on a simple base of black.

Here's an old set of beads I made for a custom order. You can see the color shifting CG does which creates an antiqued look. :)

WOW Ginny...Those are beautiful...

Just wanted to get some ideas...I bet it does look great with coral...How does it look just as a bead itself?...

[sugarenie]

Beautiful Karla...

[GinnyHampton]

Oh yeah, copper green and coral are beautiful together.


If you look at the spacers at the very top of my set, those are just plain copper green & etched.

Anything you want? The leaves/flowers/whatever you want to call them on these beads are done with red copper green. You can see the faint red edges on the bead in the left picture.

Frogs, lizards, turquoise-looking beads...
Basically anything I can etch the living daylights out of. ;)

Those are lovely!

You can use it as the base for the Dragon Scale beads in the tutorial section that Amber did - I like fish pink over it and SIS (The spacers in this aren't copper green):

Copper Green is one of my favorites (I think I say that about EVERY color out there). Some Copper Green flower buds and seahorses on Copper Green backgrounds. Also some squeezed beads in Copper Green with a little Copper Blue furnace glass to give some color variation.

Thanks guys...Lots of gorgeous beads using Copper Green...I can't wait to get started and see what I come up with as a newbie...

[DesertDreamer]

This is copper green with a cased EDP stringer drip melted and pressed.

I love CG too. It is totally a favorite.

Frist set is with transparent brown and sage. You can see the sage creates a contrast line between itself and the CG.
Second set is Lapis blue, vetrofound light ivory and CG. Last 2 lentil beads in the back of the photo are CG and silver blue reduction stringer (all beads etched)
Thrid picture is CG and Intense black. You can see the CG gets 2 tones of color. Etched
Last picture is CG, intense black on Silvered ivory. Etched YUMMERS.

If anyone wants to know, all these beads were made on my HH. I can't reproduce the last bead on my mini cc very well, did much better on the HH.

This is what I've been doing with copper green lately or any other reactive type color. This takes a lot of glass so i will generally use old scummy clear or whatever cheap glass is laying around to build up the begining base then add the more expensive hand pulled colors. The more you cook it the more reactions your get plus these masks look great lightly etched. I make um on an 1/8" mandrel so they hang on most snake chains. This particular one didn't react as much as some of the other batches of CG.

Thanks to everyone sharing their copper green beadies...This thread has totally inspired me to go ahead and use my copper green glass...I was hesitant because I'm that experienced but oh heck, why not...

Thanks again for sharing...

[Carolyn M]

This is one of my newbie beads made with copper green, red copper green, turquoise, silvered ivory and intense black stringers. Swirl and cook, then etch - easy!

[Emily]

Mine are made on a base of clear with the color on top, too, mostly because the blues and purples are shades of Lauscha that I didn't know if I'd ever be able to get again.
