Default Can one make silvered ivory or mix colors of the like?

Hello, Can one make their own (and how?) silvered ivory? Or any other color combinations of the like?

I am curious to find some very interesting mixes too.

And I am curious which colors WILL react to heat.

Thanks, Leigh

Oh My! Thank you! Thank you! I have so been sitting on the sidelines wondering about all those interesting colors and thinking jeeze how do I manage that? LOL

Now I must get some silver leaf. I must say "THANK YOU" again. If I just knew where to find all this wonderful info. I read until my eyes bleed and sometimes only get a few tips for hours worth of reading. Not that I am completely complaining. <G>

Now I must leave and see about getting some foil. Hugs to you and a Happy New Year, Leigh

I bought some heavy foil in a bulk buy a while ago, so I have never bought from a dealer.

I know my favorite glass supplier, LBSupply carries it, as well as Howaco and Frantz.

I have never used the leaf, only the foil. I don't think the leaf works the same, but I am not for sure. That would be a question for someone with more experience than me.

buy foil - it is so much easier to use than leaf - heavierweight and you can handle it with your fingers carefully. Leaf is a PITA
