Default Favorite Powders

Hello all. Had a question about your favorite boro powders Especially a good blue. I may be using to many layers because my cobalts turn a nice black. Also has anybody had any luck with the exotics.

Thanks

i love the exotics, blue and green favorites, i have yet to try the red exotic. i also love jade, nice creamy green not the same as in rod form, beautiful. i have others but these are the main ones ive played with, such fun, opens up a whole new world. if i ever finish my powder pieces ill post pics of the colors. mickelsens organic surface form class was great for this. blue exotic shown below i dont have pics of the other colors, green is like a rainbow kind of like stormy weather in metalic or burned out to icky brown or just plain dk green:
