dk.ivory/grey?
I'm liking some of the effects I'm getting with the dark ivory and reactive colors but I find I need something in the cool tones that does a similar thing. Is there a pale grey or grey blue glass that gives a similar look to the dark ivory?

Hey Laurie - I know that the silvered glasses (reduction) can turn pearl gray sort of yellowish. Here's a bead I did last year. The metallic stringerwork is slightly raised, but you can see the yellowish reaction it left on the pearl gray:
I really like effetre #252 pastel dark gray. It's kind of a streaky color which can look cool. This bead doesn't have any silvered glass in it, but you can see a bit of a reaction line between the dark gray base and avocado. Maybe try dark gray!

shards?
Yes, lovely beads! Thank you for that. They still look more into the warm tones than I need.
I've been surfing around and maybe I will have to try shards, which will be new for me...ARGHHH! My worktop has no room!
It looks like maybe silvered ivory shards over a cool neutral might do the trick.
Who has a good selection of shards for sale?
Laurie

I have my Effetre Frit charts online where all the colors are tested in various conditions an one of the tests is on Ivory. You can look for reactions there:
http://www.listen-up.org/kitty/beads/frit.htm
You'll also find other glass there as well, like Double Helix, Loetz, etc. Working on adding more.
OK, I so read your question backwards. In that case, check the beads in my chart that react with silver and the copper colored glass (in my chart the silver column and the pet mix column.

I'm not sure if it fits the tones you are looking for, but Dark Fossil does lovely things with silver glass and is a striped gray color in the rod.

I made a periwinkle bead with DH dots on it, and it got fumed/reduced to a lovely grey/green colour.

Oooh! Thanks for the tip, Mary!
I love Fossil and Dk. Fossil. I've tried it with fine silver wire, but hadn't tried it with silver glass. I'll have to do that next!
