the only time I ever used silver pink, I was wanting pink flowers, on a blue base and ended up getting yellow flowers...
sorry i'm no help with this one

Silver pink is one of those colors that likes lots of heating, cooling and other colors to play with. Some people can make it sing, I'm not one of them. I will tell you I can't get it to look pink or silver. But, I do like using it as a base for designing. It is a very pretty ivory that doesn't streak.

Intense black stringer looks cool on it...does the spiderweb thing

I find it to be one of my most used colors...like Suzy said, it's a marvelous creamy/ivory base that doesn't streak or react like ivory. So I can use frits without having the bead turn brown/black/icky. Once in a great while there might be a shade of pink coming through, but only by accident. If I want pink, I use something else, hehe!

I have some of that stuff. I tried it, it turned white on me. I'm sure I overheated it. I haven't touched it since. How does it react to silver? Anybody have any pictures? I'd pull it out again if I thought it would be useful! LOL

Wanted to say that I'm sure it's useful to a ton of you out there but right now it's not to me and I was glad to see this post. After all, what I have sitting there is already paid for, might was well use it!

So, then, we wouldn't necessarily get a 'silvered' pink in a reduction flame, like you would with silver plum- but it is more like an ivory that doesn't react??? or it is a great base to put reactive elements onto? can you get certain effects- color change or metallic sheen simply by heating and cooling?

Those of you who love it- what do you think it is best used as? base? stringer decoration? a component of a reactive twistie?

I just "scored" a half pound, based on some ohh ahh sounds in show and tell with opal yellow, which I also was able to get- so I am looking for the best way to express its inner beauty... It pretty much didn't do anything last night, even with some dots of intense black on top. Maybe I didn't burn it enough...
