I am really a haphazard glazer. It has been awhile since I used that
combination because I avoid making the raspberry (I don't care for it other
than for this). I am 99% certain it is weathered bronze green over
raspberry. I dip my glazes for the most part and the application of
Pinnell's is on the thick side with the raspberry thin. Honey over
weathered green also gives this look and you don't risk getting the
red/green I dislike if the application misses. You just have to be careful
about running.
