CiM Color Testing 2014 - Alley Cat Ltd Run and Grape Ape

I love this color combination!

CiM's Alley Cat Ltd Run and Grape Ape are both at times streaky but paired together create an exotic mix of rich hues.

Alley Cat is a vibrant, opaque orange and Grape Ape is a grapey purple opaque.
Both colors are great additions to my glass palette.

Highlights of Double Helix's Aurae silver infused glass create bling and really play to Alley Cat's beauty!

CiM Color Testing 2014 - Daffodil and Fiddlehead Ltd Run

Welcoming spring and summer, the CiM Ltd Runs reviewed in this post are bright and bold.



CiM's Daffodil Ltd Run and Fiddlehead Ltd Run are combined with Effetre White to show both compatibility within the COE 104 but also how rich in color these opaque hues play off of each other.

CiM Color Testing 2014 - Weimaraner Ltd Run

There are multiple types of gray opaques out in the glass world ranging in undertones of green, brown and blue. Weimaraner Ltd Run is CiM's offering for an opaque blu-ish gray.

It is a streaky gray and provides some interesting reactions in these dotted beads below.

 Mixed with Effetre White, CiM's Desert Pink and rare CiM Razzleberry, the result is both classic and retro! These beads remind me of 1950's soft pinks and poodle skirts!
