    Thanks for replying.  I guess I'd just be interested in an
    experiment.  I've used patinas to achieve purples and blues and lots
    of other colors in the past but I am interested to see how others
    would react to the colored silver alloy.  My understanding is that
    some alloys of aluminum and silver can be quite workable, but I am
    yet to find out.  Maybe a new trend has been started with the black
    gold (and other colored alloys) around the marketplace.  It would be
    interesting to be one of the people that get a chance to use a new
    (or old) colored alloy.  The chemist in me wants to give it a try no
    matter what the outcome, I will post the results on the list when I
    have the time to give it a try, might not be before January, I've 
    acquired four new commissions in the past week:-)
