CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Consuelo Misty Ltd Run

As part of the 2022 Creation Is Messy offerings, I was excited to see new teal glasses. CiM's Consuelo Misty Ltd Run is a beautiful glass that was derived from a recipe of sold out CiM Marine Ltd Run.

Of course, I dug through my CiM stash and no Marine to be found. 😞 Luckily, I did have some rods of CiM Aiko Ltd Run (which is also sold out). Yeah! 

 

Lesson to those beadmakers, if you see a color that you love - buy it as CiM's limited runs go quick. Canadian followers, shoutout Nortel in Toronto, my supplier!

I think the colors compliment each other well and work so lovely with Double Helix silver glass!

The round beads are a 50/50 of Aiko and Consuelo Misty with a sprinkling of Double Helix Aurae fine frit and reduced to bring out the metallic glitter of the silver glass.

 

A duet of each Aiko and Consuelo Misty beads fine frit and reduced. 

 

Plain spacers of the each base glass complete the set.

Testing 2019 CiM Colors with Silver Glass

This post carries on with more CiM - Creation Is Messy glass combinations with silver glass.

First up is a barrel bead made with a base of CiM's Aiko Ltd Run in the centre and CiM Emperor ends. 

This bead has surface treatments of several silver glasses including Double Helix glasses including Kronos 2, Skiron and Aether in powders and shards. The bead was completed with a generous wrap of fine silver wire. The spacers are CiM's Aiko.

This bead has a base of CiM's Enchanted Ltd Run, with stripes of CiM Aiko. Double Helix Skiron shards were added and gently warmed to a golden glow. The spacers are matching Aiko.

This last bead was testing how Double Helix Skiron silver glass would react on a base of CiM Little Boy Blue. I superheated the bead and it produced highlights of purples and magenta. Definitely will be trying some further testing with these two glasses. The spacer beads are CiM's Little Boy Blue (now Sold Out).

Finally, this barrel bead made with a base of CiM's Egg White with a generous wrap of Skiron and 99% fine silver wire. 

Til next time,

Spring 2019 - New CiM Color - Aiko

Today's new 2019 CiM color is Aiko!

CIM’s new Aiko Ltd Run is a vivid transparent teal green that melts smoothly and has a depth of tone and does not bubble or boil.

This focal bead combined it with Double Helix Psyche silver glass frit and 99% fine silver wire encased to capture the glittery goodness!

As most of my color testing pairs new CiM colors with my favorite silver glasses, it is no surprise that I took the opportunity to try out a new Val Cox silver glass frit called Flora.

This focal bead combined it with Val Cox’s Flora and a couple wraps of 99% fine silver wire encased within. 

This final bead was a combination of several of the new CiM 2019 glasses. 
So many of the new colors compliment each other within the green and teal palettes!

This centre bead was created on a base of CiM Peppermint Cream Ltd Run with some CiM Eden Ltd Run dots and CiM Aiko flower twists.

All the new CiM colors are available through www.nortelglass.com. Contact Jean for your glass needs!
