Hello!
I have to admit that I have been "in hibernation" mode over the past couple months and ask forgiveness to everyone for that! LOL.
This past winter has been a killer in Northeastern Canada and as a result, my time at my torch has been limited to mild days when my studio could be warmed up enough to ensure the "Glass Gods" would be kind.
Over the past couple of weekends, it has been acceptable weather to spend some time back in the studio and over the next couple of blog posts, I will share my recent CiM glass testing results.
Topic of this post are the CiM Red palette:
There are lots of new red limited runs from CiM over the past 2 quarters including Firecracker, Bing and Rudolph.
Usually most red can be a bit fussy in striking, but CiM never disappoints and combining it with my beloved silver glass creates some wonderful reactions.
As you will see, these CiM Reds strike easily and stay true red and are great paired with gleaming silver infused glasses! Can you see that Red is a favorite color of mine!
First a photo of the group of test beads:
