I've used Effetre sage green for ethnic faces. Doesn't look green at all, more a nice cocoa color.

Excellent and coolbeans! I have about a pound of old (old JoDel stock-yikes!) sage green frit! I will try that as soon as possible. Or will the faces all look kind of blotchy and icky from using frit?

And at the risk of sounding like a totally star struck noob-boob, wow, you're Sharon Peters--I JUST got the 2001 Kervin booklet about you! Thanks for answering! (Now you need to make a noob boob..........with cat eye glasses...........and a beanie!!!)

Smiles, Sheri

I mix ivory and coral. Mix about 1 coral to 5 ivory portions or just play til you like it. I'd show pics but am a terrible photographer.

CIM has some colors that work for peachy tones.. I think Ginger or Chai. I will have to look at my stash and double check.
