Question Question about possible Boro color challenge

Last year at the ISGB here in Rochester, Nancy Tobey presented pictures of a challenge she hosted. She had artists make what ever they wanted using two chosen color of glass. She used NS Extra Light Yellow and Ruby.
Would anyone be interested in a Boro challenge like that on this web site.
No prices, but it would be fun to see what everyone gets using their own style. The only other thing that would be helpful is to post with your picture the kind of Torch you have. And maybe share your Kiln schedule (if requested).

What does everyone think?
Any suggestions on colors?

Please let me know your ideas. Who knows maybe if we get enough intested we could get some support from one of the glass Mfgs.

I'm a newbie, but interested in learning/practicing boro sculptural stuff. This kind of challenge sounds like a cool way to experiment with color.

maybe we could work our way through the color combo's already listed in this forum on LE? Or use the back issues of Glass Alchemy newsletters for color inspirations (they give suggestions on color combos)?

I love NS Silver Creek. But I'll need to order GA Green carnival
if that's the colors for the first Challenge. Please let us know
as soon as posible, so we can all get the needed colors in.
I am looking foreward to it.

Since this is SANGELL'S idea they should pick the colors to start don't you think? Then they pick the one that will pick the next color combo to try? We need to put a time limit on posting your results for your test, how you did it and kiln schedule? If we did one, say every couple of weeks for a few months we could compile a nice little stack of things to try at the torch. Someone might even be willing to put them together in a doc file. Just my ideas

I'll play too, as long as I can get my hands on the chosen colours. Sounds fun, and will be interesting to compare results!
