Any suggestions on a terra-cotta color?
I'm looking for a good boro terra-cotta color ... any one have any suggestions. I have caribbean coral and just bought coral blush from GA but neither seem to be right even if I work them alot. I did a search but the only thread was one that mentioned coral blush ... but it's not quite there for me. Love to hear any suggestions.
Thanks

I've got some GA(?) cranberry -- which isn't!!! It's definitely more of a terra-cotta.

Hummmm...maybe rust with a little cranberry (my cranberry is cranberry ... light cranberry) would work. I'll give it a try!! (Thanks Pipyr and Lea)
Any one else ... feel free to add suggestions.

My first instinct was rust also.
I have some Caribbean coral and that comes out sort of a terra-cottaish color depending on flame chemistry if I recall correctly.

I haven't tried it, but borostix lobster might fit the bill.

Now that's a thought ....my problem is I can't get Borostix to keep it's color. I've tried the lime and blush and they just fade away ... am I working them too hot????

Maybe...sometimes you just need to experiment with them a little. You can try encasing them in clear too, but that leads to it's own headaches.
