blending colors
Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2003 7:16 pm
I'm stumped on this and would welcome some ideas.
I'm making a stained glass panel for a client -- a garden scene with a morning glory vine running up one side. She can't find a blue color that she likes for the morning glories. The closest we've come is the color of BE0334 or BE0114 ... but she wants more of a seedy cathedral. (Like Kokomo seedy, but we couldn't find the right blue.)
So what to do? My current thought is to take some thin BE0114 or BE0334 and fuse it with a layer of thin clear. Would the result be less "dense", and more cathedral? If I fused thin BE1114 (cathedral) with clear would it be less intense blue? Would a layer of frit work?
I don't mind doing the experiments, but I'm curious if this will be blind alley or is worth pursuing. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks! Marilyn
