Silver Glass Reactions - Magic Of The Goddess Bead - Part 1

I have been enjoying the warmer weather in April and taking advantage of a few vacation days away from my office to hide away in my glass studio.

I think I can proudly say I am known for creating my Goddess bead sets over the past decade. Each bead with its "bumpy" glass portals is a result of unique glass combinations of silver glass.

Within this post, I have lots of small Goddess bead sets to share with you today.

Let's get right to it!

Photographs never properly show the mother of pearl and mirror shine that each "bump" has captured.

This set started on a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy’s Amethyst, a pale transparent pinky-purple.

 

Layers of CiM's Ra, a silver laden yellow opaque, Double Helix blue catalyst ES 405 and SK 652 silver glasses.

 

The silver glass was stormed and reduced and captured under clear portals of Double Helix Zephyr. 

 

To complete each bead, dots of silver infused Aurae Light was added and reduced to a metallic shine. The spacers of pure Amethyst complete the set. 

 

 
The set below started on a base of CiM Bubblebath, a pale opal purple.

 

With the same combination of layers of CiM's Ra, Double Helix blue catalyst ES 405 and SK 652 silver glasses.

 

The silver glass was stormed and reduced and captured under clear portals of Double Helix Zephyr.

To complete each bead, dots of silver infused Aurae Light was added and reduced to a metallic shine.

 

 

The spacers of pure CiM Bubblebath complete the set.  

As always, I purchase my CiM glass from Nortel in Toronto. 

It appears that Amethyst is showing as currently available at the time of this post.

Bubblebath is a rare sold out glass unfortunately, but definitely check out the CiM website for other purple opals available.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2023 New Color - Kiwi Misty Ltd Run

Today, I am introducing you to a new 2023 green from CiM - Creation Is Messy named Kiwi. Kiwi is a lime green opal the is offered in both a misty and milky version.
The beads within this post are created with the misty sister.

First up, I used Kiwi Misty as the base on which a layer of Jetage Studio's Lumiere Luster named Strawberry Rhubarb was added and then encased with Double Helix Zephyr. 

 

 

The spacers are pure Kiwi Misty to show the base color directly.

 

 
This set of goddess series beads was created on a base of CiM's Kiwi Misty Ltd Run glass. 

 

 

Each goddess bead was then layered with dots of CiM's Cafe Au Lait, Double Helix's Blue Catalyst glass named ES405, a 2016 Garage Sale rod coded CL.a. 

 

 

The combination of the glasses create the multi-hued portals captured under each clear glass dot of Zephyr.  

 

 

Double Helix OX-376 completes the metallic highlight droplets on each bead.

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.

 I love testing new CiM - Creation Is Messy colors with Double Helix variety of glasses.

In this post, I chose new Amazon Milky Ltd Run to highlight.

CiM has created a misty and milky opal version of their previous color named Rainforest. 

Check out my post from Feb 2011 to see what I did with Rainforest. You may wish to check with Nortel if they still have some in stock.

This set of goddess series beads was created on a base of CiM Amazon Milky glass. 

 

 

Each goddess bead was then layered with dots of CiM Ra, Double Helix's Blue Catalyst glass named ES-405, a 2016 Garage Sale rod coded SK.j. 

 

The combination of the glasses create the multi-hued portals captured under each clear glass dot of Zephyr. Double Helix Triton completes the metallic highlight droplets on each bead.
