In this blog post, I am revisiting CiM - Creation Is Messy’s glass named Glycerin, an off-white milky opal.

This set of zulu shaped beads was created with a base of Glycerin with a sprinkling of Glass Diversions Sugar Plum Fairy glass frit. 

This glass frit mix is described as "Forest green paired with several shades of pink and a hint of sparkliness". I believe it is green adventurine that gives the sparkles which were difficult to properly photograph.

I noticed with Glycerin in this set took on the hue of the pink glasses in the frit.

Next up this mini set of Goddess bumpy beads started with the base of Glycerin Ltd Run.

Layered dots of Double Helix glasses of their gold pink, Eros, and Clio Dark silver glass. 

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

Dots of Double Helix Eros complete each bead.

Note how the silver glass fumed the Glycerin glass with a golden hue.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Glycerin Milky Ltd Run - Part 2

Just a quick post on another quick glass frit test using Creation Is Messy’s 2022 Glycerin Milky Ltd Run.

As I mentioned in a post on May 1, 2022, Glycerin is an off-white milky opal that bead testers describe as a moonstone. It is a clean white in my opinion and it melted smoothly with no issues.

In this mini-set of beads, I used Val Cox Montmartre. This frit pairs generous chunks of Purple Rose with a blend of golden transparents to create beads that appear to be illuminated from within.

Worked in a neutral flame, these beads were easy to complete with a sprinkling of frit and a wrap of 99% fine silver wire.

The spacer beads are pure Glycerin to note that the change in the color came from the orange and gold transparent rather than a reaction to the silver wire.

Val Cox Montmartre glass frit is available through Nortel Glass in Toronto as I do not see it on Val's site currently.

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

Creation Is Messy’s 2022 Glycerin Milky Ltd Run is an off-white milky opal that bead testers describe as a moonstone. It is a clean white in my opinion and it melted smoothly with no issues.

I love to pair a neutral hue with a dark blue and silver, so I thought it would be perfect to use a glass frit by Val Cox called Starry Night and some 99% fine silver wire.

Starry Night frit is a fantastic navy blue with an aventurine sparkle. 

After a sprinkling and a melting in, I wrapped each round bead with fine silver wire to complete the bead.

Note the centre bead made of Glycerin with a wrap of silver wire is clean with no fuming from the fine silver.

There was no reaction between Glycerin and the silver and the brightness of the white remained true.

Starry Night glass frit is available through Nortel Glass in Toronto as I do not see it on Val's site currently.
