Silvered stringer not just for ivories?
Does anyone make any other color of silvered stringer?
I have a few colors I want to try and I have found that here on LE, members have already done most everything I want to do with glass and usually much better than my "original" plan/ideas.
So maybe someone has already used some other glass colors? I was thinking of some of the Messy colors..... and black??
Also has anyone used any 96 coe glass for making silvered stringers?
Lorraine
UPDATE: COLORS LIST
Please remember you might not get what someone else gets, some people have very different flame characteristics. It may take fussing with your flame to get what someone gets.
First grouping is Effetre, CiM, Vetrofond, and any other 104 you want me to add. Hopefully most are familiar with just the names but I will try to add numbers later to each color name. *** means 3 stars! Love that color Silvered. If we get some rave reviews about certain colors I will add 3 stars to them.
Blacks ( experiment )
Hades
Ambers
Greens
Blues
Cobalt
Bordello
Rubino
Corals
Sage
Avocado***
Dirty Martini***
Stone Ground
EDP
Dark Brown
Red Brown
Copper Green
Alexandrite ( I am not sure if this is T or opaque, I will check it out.
Slate Blue
Fossil ***
Sangre
Yellow Ochre
Oranges
Sky Blue***
Avocado Marble odd Vetro 991
Fish Pink***
Silvered Coral on Hades***
Silvered Lapis
************************************************** ***********
BULLSEYE:

Nougat
Golden Green
Oranges

This is what I have so far. Just post what works or doesn't for you and I will transfer that new info to this first page post. BIG THANK-YOU'S TO ALL THOSE THAT CONTRIBUTE!!

Silvered sage or avacado is pretty, too.

See...I knew there would be some very pretty proven silvered colors out there but I hadn't thought of the corals...WOW!!
Sage and avocado on the list with corals...
Okay..I am making a list and will try some of the Messy colors tomorrow. I am eager to try the dirty martini and stone ground silvered. 
Thank-you for the answers

Silvered coral is one of my favorites!
It's super easy and fun to experiment with different colors instead of ivory

Silvered EDP turns a warm orangy color - this is silvered EDP on black
This is silvered Vetro Coral on Hades encased
Messy Celadon is reactive with silver if you want to give that a try.

I like silvered sage a lot and I also love silvered cobalt and silvered dark brown or red brown. I think silvered copper green is nice too, now that I think of it.

OK, I can't help myself - Hades and silver is my absolute favorite glass reaction!
Hades with silvered Vetro Coral, reduced
Hades with silvered clear

The silver foil was wrapped around the stringer for these, not melted in
Hades is the only black I know that does this - I've tried Lauscha and Vetro and they do nothing.

Cosmic Waltz looks like it has a million tiny points of light in it...BEAUTIFUL!!
I am torching tomorrow and am just hoping I have a lot of silver foil out there....hiding in my workbench.
I know I have the hades and I have lots of corals. Hmmmm I wonder about silvered hades on coral????
Maybe Lapis and khaki or maybe periwinkle oh my! I think I have stumbled onto the never ending silvered stringer story...  What fun.
It seems to be as addictive as frits???
Thanks for all of the pics...I might have a few over the next few days before annealing..
Anymore out there?

Silvered alexandrite. If you reduce it, it goes a little golden-ish.

The Vetro Slate Blue/Grey - sorry, I don't have pics right now - looks absolutely amazing when silvered... (You know, the oddlot that's going for high bucks now, not the normal greys.  )
I like silver on white, but I haven't tried it as stringer, it turns a nice gold color.

I did CIM Borodello which was stunning. I didn't care too much for the silvered electric ave. Silvered fossil was great too.
Sorry I don't have any pics but my favorite was the borodello silvered.

Is that Moretti yellow ocher? I've done silvered coral on ivory...makes a nice combination. Got to try some of these others!
Thanks,

This is a horrible picture but it's silvered EDP over coral and encased. I've learned since you can't encase EDP without cracking. I've kept this one for myself. The EDP turns a khaki color.
I've also silvered silver pink accidently instead of ivory. It turned the color of opal yellow. It would not spread like ivory though.

After some reaction experimentation, I want to try (but haven't yet since I don't have any foil) silvered Effetre Grasshopper.
It doesn't seem to have the same reactions that other greens do (i.e. it seems to play nice with ivory but not with turquoise) so I'm wondering if it will do what coral does only with green instead of red.
