I love testing new CiM - Creation Is Messy colors with Double Helix Glassworks variety of glasses.
In this post, I chose new Lychee Misty Ltd Run to highlight.
Lychee Misty is a misty ivory that was melted in response to requests from beadmakers. I believe this is a successful creation as it melted with the subtle misty feel that seems to glow from within as an opal should do.
These focal beads are great examples of the pairings.
In viewing the photo below, the flat barrel shown below on the left was created on a base of Lychee Misty with bands of Double Helix Garage Sale 2016 glass coded as CL/DK.cc. I am guessing this was a test batch that appears to be related to Clio Dark.
Dots of CiM's silver laden ivory named Birchwood were added to the centre of the barrel and bubbles captured under encasement of Double Helix Zephyr. A touch of gravity shifting to create the layers and allow the heat to bring out wisps of colors of the rainbow within the silver glass.
The middle focal barrel combined Lychee Misty with layered dots of Birchwood and Double Helix Eros. Lots of poked bubbles to add to the mother of pearl captured under the Zephyr encasement. As the bead needed just a bit more color, I added "shoulder" bands of Eros to create the ruby pink richness to the bead.
On the right, the final focal barrel is simple in design with similar layering of Birchwood and Eros over the Lychee Misty base. I was pleased to see that each glass stayed true with no seeping/spreading or fuming into each other.
The two spacers are simply Lychee Misty for comparison.
All the new CiM colors for 2023 are available through Nortel in Toronto through their online shopping cart. I suggest ordering some very soon before it is gone.
