Gold colored glass coe 104
 

Without using gold leaf, what are the best colors to get a gold colored glass, preferable encased? I have made gold colored glass with silver leaf in the past but I can not remember what colors I used!

Thanks!

Helios is gold.

Encased in amber maybe? or if you don't want the amber, I have used Aether over silver foil and it turned it a gold color. I tried a couple of times, and some didn't turn, so I'm not sure if it was the wrong heat, or if I grabbed a rod that really wasn't Aether.

Lauscha clear for base bead, silver foil, Lauscha clear for encasing?

I've used CIM Sepia to cover silver foil. Can't find the picture. Also Effetre straw yellow over gold dichro is a nice sparkly gold.

eta- found it. This is Sepia over silver foil. I can't remember what black I used but they all cracked. Sandwiching silver between sepia should work though.

Silver foil in light amber or maple, I forget which.

You guys are THE BEST. I think I had used some silver glass in the past with the silver leaf but I love all of these! I will see what I have to avoid buying glass.(did I just say avoid buying glass? I must have a fever. . . )

Melanie Graham has a selection of glasses turning silver golden (there is a test with silver with each colour) in her amazing blog http://melanie-graham.blogspot.ru/se...ilver%20golden

Katia, THANK YOU!
