Default What's your favorite combo for encased stringers?

I've been on a total encased stringer kick....maybe it's just me but my stringer control has drastically improved since I started encasing my stringer and pulling a little thicker

My absolute fave combo right now is ink blue over periwinkle. Love, love, LOVE it!! Next is just about any transparent over opaline white silk. Gorgeous!

If I don't want a combo I still encase my colors with clear to just to add some stiffness to the opaques.

So??? Spill it...what are some of your favorites for encased stringer? I'm keen to try other combos

-Yee (who's just discovered stringer control and making everything with stringer detail!!!!)

Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.

It's one of the vetrofond odd colors that recently came out. I'm not sure if it's still available but you can try Frantz or check out Galaxy Glass on ebay

Transparent red over medium red - you can use it under encasement and it stays crisp
