Copper Green and Effetre White on Vintage Blue. You can see the muddle the petals became on this base and the spreading of the copper green. You can also see the variations in the base color.

I think the colors here could make a great sky scene with fluffy clouds- the white actually has a definition line inside it that looks cloud like to me.

Vintage Lavender, Bullseye, Effetre Coral

Effetre Grass green, Vintage Yellow, Vintage White


   
   

Working Tips

  • This glass mottles in the heat- working cooler or making it a part of the design will help

  • Most glass I put on top of the blue lost the crisp edge as soon as it was melted flush with the blue- more heat left a less distinct outline as seen on the floral above. Effetre saw the most fading, Bullseye the least.

  • I had no cracking when mixing with Effetre, Bullseye or Reichenbach
