Quick Tip: Keen On Green

 

Quick Tip: Keen On Green

Having trouble finding green? Make your own!

As you've probably heard, Bullseye is currently unable to produce most of our green glass styles. We hope to return to production soon, but in the meantime there are many shades of green you can create on your own using yellow and blue styles. For example, we made the plate above using this approach.

• TOP: Strips of Light Turquoise Blue (001416-0030) and Aqua Blue Tint (001808-0030)
• MIDDLE: Clear Thin (001101-0050)
• BASE: Canary Yellow Opal (000120-0050)

NOTE: You'll need the Clear Thin between colors to prevent a dark color reaction between the top and the base.

Here are some additional combinations to experiment with!
