looking for spreading glass
Does anyone now any light opaque color (white, grey, beige) that spreads like intense black?
|
Spread and give the lacy web effect like the intense black? Not that I have seen or heard, but there are so many colors maybe someone else knows something about a new one.
|
Yes, like intense black
I remember seeing it on the bead somewhere, but do not remember where #-o |
Interesting! I hope someone knows and can chime in.
|
I have done this with dark ivory, threading it on black, for instance, and I get that spreading, but not as defined as intense black. Don't do ivory threading on blues or greens-it will turn black.

Mosaic green, petroleum green, EDP, Rubinho (don't use on ivory), Lauscha olive and denim.
|
you might try the reichenbach dense white

anise white?

thank you!
I defiantly will try reichenbach whites |
Using SIS (silvered ivory stringer) can give a web-ish effect... maybe that's an option?

Avenue Beads sells Peacock Veining Stringers and I love them. They spread and web in greens and yellows and it takes very little. I use them as you would SIS. Ernie Wagner

I have a number of charts on my website. What you want to look at is the second column. If a color will spread, that column will show it.

Raku is another super spreader.

The truly white webbing you probably, maybe(?), are thinking about is silver glass webbing. :) can't tell you how it's done but there's a great tutorial on it.
|
Any glass with copper as a component has a chance of reacting with the glass around it.
I've found that turquoises, greens and ivories work the best, but I'm sure there are other combinations that might react too. |
Good thinking Shardi, that never even crossed my mind!
|
I was thinking you could mix CIM Cirrius, marshmellow and Effertre anice white and get kind of a curdled white look. Maybe throw in some white enamel or frit? I am going to try this to get the look of curdled ivory in white.
