Show me yours - mosaic green beads

[burntfingers]

Just got a batch of mosaic green, but I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas? Show me what you've made with yours ...

If this is the opaque green it has awesome reaction with ivory. Mores than most greens. Dot on ivory and the edges will turn tan/brown/black depending on how much you heat it.

I find I have trouble when I encase it. Tends to crack, so I wonder if I'm just not treating it gently enough, of if it's slightly incompatible like Special colours.

It also likes to web like intense black if you dab it onto a soft colour and super-heat it.

I like to mix it with copper (cool opaques) colours and super-heat. It causes some wild concentration/webbing effects. It also does cool stuff with EDP. If I use it with Ivory I only heat it a little, 'cause the outline reaction can get out of control very quickly.

Hope this helps! It's the prettiest richest green out there, just veeeery reactive. -H.

roll it in silver foil - beautiful reactions with clear. I have had NO luck enclasing it at all. I discovered the silver foil last night and thought aha - I am on to something. Boo hiss - it started cracking before I even got it into the vermiculite. I am going to try again tonight - with just clear stringer and not total encasing. I got some beautiful blues out of it.

I wasn't sure if this was mosaic or petroleum, but I was at Frantz today and I saw it. It's odd lot mosiac petroleum. I have a few lbs of kinda thick stringer if anyone wants some - I'm happy to trade.
