I even forgot I asked this questions. LOL. I mixed up my own colors for the piece that I made for my daughter -in-law. It turned out very nice.

@Loretta Carstensen: Just saw this comment…did you ever find the recipes you needed, Loretta? If so, were they Cindy’s, or did you mix up these colors on your own?

I like the idea of a thread where people can request & share color recipes (as long as no one publishes Cindy’s recipes, of course – it’s bad enough that someone “stole” them awhile back!) I don’t know if this is a good place for it, but it would be nice to have one place to go for our “homemade” recipes…

Hi Cindy,

I have a request from my daughter-in-law for some jewelry using the shades “Sage Green” and “Plum”. Do you have these shades in the recipe library?

Thanks

No problem, I thought I was going crazy or some colors had been discontinued.

Sorry for the delay in getting to this Ken. It’s been super busy!

It appears I made some typos. Both the Emerald and the Fleshtone are Fimo Colors… not Premo. I am sorry about that. Was entering a lot of old written down recipes and it looks like I typed in the wrong brand. I’ve corrected the info on the recipe cards now. Thanks so much for pointing this out!

I went and pruchased all the Premo colors to mix up your color formulas but for two I could not find, I was checking online for these colors also and still can’t find Fleshtone or Emerald Green in Premo clay. They show up in formulas 002-2b Aged Bronze and 006-4b Porcelain Skin, are these colors you can get in Canada and we can’t in the states or are you using one of your other color formulas in a new one?

Black will work but also try adding a touch of Alizarin Crimson (Red) to your mix Sue. It may just 'mud' it up enough to become Sage. Cindy Lietz's last blog post..Slicing Fimo Nail Art Canes | Sculpey Polymer Clay Cake Toppers

When I decided to revisit polymer clay this summer (I had a false start several summers ago, but this time I am ready!), I bought 2 bricks of green – I love green, it’s the Irish in me, and I love the many shades of green that form the patchwork of Ireland, as it appears from the sky. The idea of using recipes to create complementary and contrasting shades of green is just so joyous!
Ive got to be more systematic in my color mixing so I can save the recipes! Here is one I’ve not been able to accomplish – SAGE GREEN – because it isn’t just green and white and I can’t quite figure out the third color – a touch of black?
I’ve copied all of your recipes from throughout your site and anxiously await more!
Thanks Cindy!

Is there a specific shade of green you would like a recipe for? Let me know and I'll see if I can make your wish come true :)
