"I wanted to make some cake beads, but was having such a hard time finding the right colour for baked pastry and sponge! Until I tried Stone Ground - I should have guessed by the name that it was going to work just perfectly. Not only is it THE perfect colour, it even has a wonderful "baked" look to it!" – Claire Morris

Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Testers were divided on whether or not Stone Ground was significantly different from Effetre opal yellow.
"It might be a fair generalization to say that the Opal Yellow tends to look a little lighter. In terms of reactivity and "cool effects" - both of them react strongly - the Stone Ground possibly more so - perhaps just as it is a little darker.  I'd say they are pretty comparable."

"Deeper than opal yellow, Stone Ground gives us a shade we don’t exactly have. I used it for hair on an angel. It makes a great blonde, but it does somewhat fume the face color and make it more golden. I would also use it for animal fur and other sculptural pieces."
– Marcy Lamberson
"Stone Ground works up as a similar color to a darker Effetre Opal Yellow. Stone Ground is not quite as reactive, but less shocky, harder to burn, and the color is more consistent. Makes an excellent base color for silver and reactive glasses."
