CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Fjord Milky Ltd Run

This simple set of jewelry box beads were created on a base of CiM's Fjord Milky Ltd Run, bluish teal milky opal, sprinkled with Val Cox Sadie Hawkins frit currently available through Nortel Glass in Toronto

Two crystal shapes, four rounds and two spacers make up this set.

CiM - Creation Is Messy Color 2022 - Dusty Rose Ltd Run

Kathy at CiM is always sharing with her testers a few extra surprise rods each testing season. Dusty Rose Ltd Run was one of the special rods for 2022 due to a very limited production run.

It is a cloudy transparent with a peachy pink tone.

Starting on a base of this glass, I layered dots of CiM's Buttermilk Ltd Run, a creamy opaque ivory with silver, and a silver glass from my stash of 2016 Double Helix Garage Sale simply labelled as OP.e, opaque purple speckled luster which I treated in the flame 2 specific ways (see below)

Clear portal dots of  Double Helix Zephyr were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass.

• The double bump beads - the silver glass was not reduced before adding the Zephyr

• The single bump beads - the silver glass was slightly reduced before adding the Zephyr.

The resulting difference is very noticeable as the reduced silver glass has a blue mother of pearl shine vs the golden amber storms under the Zephyr clear portals on the double bump beads.

Dots of Double Helix Aurae Light complete each bead.

Spacers are pure Dusty Rose.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Arctic Milky Ltd Run

As many CiM testers have communicated, CiM's Arctic Ltd Runs for 2022 have not behaved as expected. In the rod it is a light blue milky opal.

My testing results for Arctic Misty Ltd Run resulted in a dark bottle green brown when I paired it with silver glass.

In anticipation of similar result in testing the Milky version, I intentionally used Double Helix Aurae fine glass frit to create this set of beads.

Double Helix Aurae fine frit was sprinkled and reduced on this set of round beads. The spacers are solid Arctic Milky. 

It is a belief of mine, that a kiln environment with silver glass present may be a clue to why this blue glass changes color so dramatically.

Either way, this set of beads are beautiful with various shades of metallic brilliance.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Atoll Milky Ltd Run

Creation Is Messy’s 2022 Atoll Milky Ltd Run is a green milky opal leaning to the blue side of the spectrum. 

Starting on a base of this glass, I layered dots of CiM's Birchwood Ltd Run, a creamy opaque ivory, and a silver glass from my stash of 2016 Double Helix Garage Sale simply labelled as TC366, a blue speckled cluster (maybe a prototype for Keto)

Clear portal dots of  Double Helix Zephyr were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass producing the most brilliant blue portals that shine in the light.

CiM's green glass stayed true to its original tone and melted beautifully and stayed stiff enough to maintain the layering without drifting or shifting.

Dots of Double Helix Aurae complete each bead.

End bead are solid Atoll Milky.
