Using Effetre Apricot Yellow as a base -

                                                         "i read somewhere that its good with Terranova 2 ( or was it Terra ) . In the plunged dot beads , the Apricot Yellow is just too garish and it gets a strong black reaction line around the dots. However , its really brought out fab colours from the Aurae and Terranova 2 so i'm going to try this again,using just a dot of Apricot Yellow under the silver glass. I have not played with Terranova 2 much at all before now, but i'm very impressed with the purples "

 

  Using Effetre Mosaic Green -

                                   " didn't play nice with the silver glass on the plunged dot beads , but worked much better on the swirl style.I did two with Aurae the second time i decided to completely saturate the green , and it worked qiute well"

 

 

Using Effetre Dark Matter -

                                       "tried plunged dots in Aurae , Triton and Terranova 2 . Triton was a big fat grey bleurgh , but wow , look at the Aurae one! .The Dark Matter has gone a really nice green, this is the best bead of the whole bunch . Again , lovely purples from the Terranova 2 so more playtime called for there"
