Default Silver Fuming Question...

I am fuming. No, not mad just playing with some silver. I fumed some Ruby Gold yesterday, and it turned a plain ol amber color. Does anyone have any suggestions for good 104 colors to fume other than ivory?

I haven't tried it yet but I keep meaning too - I want to try fuming copper green or sky blue and see what happens. Has anyone ever fumed EDP?

Cobalt blue is really pretty. Don't over fume it or it will get a milky white film. A medium fuming will give it a really nice shimmer. Amber is nice too. Emerald green will also pick up great shine and is fairly easy to fume.

Streaky sapphire, silver fumed!

Carnellian gold fumed!

Anise white is pretty fumed with silver. Jim Smircich explains how he uses it here: http://www.smircich.com/html/anise_white.html

I've also seen some lovely pale or medium pink transparent fumed. It's beautiful and fairy-like!

Coral and Hades both look lovely when fumed with silver. You can get Hades to turn iridescent blue with silver fuming.
This is a base of CIM Hades with ivory caps and ivory and coral decoration fumed with silver

The pink it beautiful but I don't have any gold. I do have Hades though. I have never used it. That would make a perfect color for what I am doing. I'll try that, thank you

I did fume ruby gold, and it turned a really boring amber color. Maybe it's the silver instead of the gold?
