    I just took Linda Darty's workshop. In it, she taught how to achieve
    the most beautiful reds by manipulating clear flux and working with
    the oxides present in the copper. 

    Thank you once again, Linda, it was fabulous. 

    If your color is transparent, the color of the copper, will always
    show through the layers and therefore if you are using red, the
    color will not end up red. 

    Can you plate the electaformed piece in fine silver and then use
    japaneese enamels, first flux, then red for silver? 

    Maybe use underglaze cayons. Color the the electraformed pieces and
    then put a top coat of flux.
