Color combos from a limited selection
« on: 03/17/14 13:27 UTC »
I just got into making my own soft plastics, and I've only got the x2 colors amber, brown, motor oil, and pink. I also have pearl powder. Does anyone have some good combinations I can make from those?

Is that just a mixture of the two?

The bottom is amber and the top is a pumpkinseed brown. I don't know if you will be able to get the same bottom color without using HDA or a white colorant though. Still worth a shot :) wish I could give a recipe but I have just been eyeballing these ones. I'll be sure to post again on here when I get it nailed back down

Most of your colors are in the Brown family so it will be hard. I would reccomend getting watermelon so you can do watermelon and add brown to get green pumpkin.

With what you have, try adding different color flake.

What pearls do you hsve?

Okay got that stick recipe down to x2 colors. Sorry but I used x2 sweet potato instead of amber though.
Both have 20ml HDA per 4oz with 1/32 tsp orange flake, 1/64 tsp micro red and a tiny but of large red.

Top is 7 drops pumpkinseed (a little bit lighter brown)

Bottom is 8 drops sweet potato. The bottom I also added a touch of uv powder so it might appear a tiny bit off colored.
