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.

Today's post highlights one of the many new CiM - Creation Is Messy green colors for Spring 2019.
The beads below were created from CiM's Budgerigar Ltd Run.
Described as a translucent lime green which is bright and cheerful for spring.
It plays nice with silver glass whether it is on the surface or as a base with silver glass frit encased in clear.
The first focal bead was created with a sprinkle of Val Cox new frit, Flora. It was then encased with Double Helix Zephyr clear glass.
You will see a wrap of 99% fine silver at the centre of the bead that was melted in to create the silver droplets suspending in the glass.
The second focal tested encasing Budgerigar with DH Zephyr and layers of Double Helix silver glasses, Kronos 2 and Helios.
Unfortunately, I spent too much time playing with the decoration and the glass cooled too much and resulted in a crack. Not the fault of the glass, it was definitely the artist.
Definitely a very pretty color and I am looking forward to further testing this with other silver glasses.
