Here are a couple of the 1.75" small fry in the cherry color over chartreuse and the junebug over chartreuse.
The chartreuse is x2 and mixed a bit rich to make it more opaque. I've dropped in a bit of gold hi lite and some med. chartreuse glitter to help set the color off.
The junebug is a pre-mix I have. I made it up in a 4 oz batch and added about 1/4 tsp of CCM green medium grit glitter.
The black cherry is a medium smoke made from CCM traditional black in 4 oz of CCM pthalate-free plastic. Once the smoke was settled on, I juiced it up with quite a bit of garnet CCM medium glitter and then gave it a shot of red hi lites. The more I work with this cherry color the more I like it. I am thinking that a drop of transparent red could be added to this to really bring the red undertones out, but one would have to be certain the red is not a bleeder. The drop of red is next on my "let's try this" list.
I've taken about thirty pics of this color using sunlight, shaded sunlight, shade in cloudy sunlight, artificial light....you name it. Its a tough color to get a decent realistic rendition of. This pic isn't too bad and shows a bit of the red hi lite in there as well as the glitter and smoke color. I just can't find a happy medium in a pic that really shows the beauty of this plastic. I'll keep at it though. Maybe that drop or two of red will set up the hi lites and gklitter a bit more internally so the black color comes out on a pic. It really is something else.
