Silver Glass Reactions - Magic Of The Goddess Bead - Part 4

You may have noticed by now that I enjoy making those "bumpy beads" that I have named as a Goddess series.

I still have more sets of Goddess beads to share with you today.

This set started on a base of CiM's 2023 Aubergine Milky, a purple milky opal.

 

 

Layers of Effetre Light Ivory, CiM Black Currant, Double Helix BE-462 Purple Luster were placed and captured under clear portals of Double Helix Zephyr.

 

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

The Aubergine base glass did fume a golden sheen from the reduction of the silver glass.

 

 

 

This set started on a base of another color for 2023 - CiM - Creation Is Messy’s Niagara Misty, a transparent blue aqua.

 

 

 

Layers of Effetre Light Ivory, Double Helix Oracle Black, 2016 Garage Sale glass coded as Sk.j.

 

 

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 base glass did fume with the silver glass reduction making the Niagara Misty a bit darker in tone from the original rod.

 

This set started on a base of popular CiM Heather, a cloudy transparent pinkish purple.

 

Layers of Effetre Light Ivory, CiM Hades black, 2016 Garage Sale glass coded as CL/OD.e.

 

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

 

To complete each bead, dots of silver infused CL/OD.e was added and reduced to a metallic shine.

 

The spacers are pure Heather. 

 

 

You will notice that each goddess bead base glass has a golden tone in comparison to the spacers. 

This is due to the fuming of the silver glass reduction.

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

 

To complete each bead, dots of silver infused Notos was added and reduced to a metallic shine. The spacers are pure Lychee Misty.

 

 

The set below started on a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy’s new for 2023, Volcanic Ash Milky, a grey milky opal.

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 - Lychee Milky Ltd Run

As we come to the end of March, the weather is expected to kick up another storm before we enter April. 

I think this is a good post to show a spring themed Goddess bead set with little silver glass storms captured under clear portals.

This set started on a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy’s new Lychee Milky Ltd Run for 2023. 

It is an ivory misty/milky opal. I had previously tested it's misty sister with silver glass - click here to see that post.

Layers of Effetre Light Ivory, CiM's Leaky Pen were placed and capped with Double Helix silver glass named OX-380, a peridot green, jewel super luster. 

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

Photographs never properly show the mother of pearl and mirror shine that each "bump" has captured. I plan to post a video on IG/Facebook to show just how beautiful these beads are when the angle of light changes.

To complete each bead, dots of silver infused OX-380 was added and reduced to a metallic shine. 

I have checked availability of these glasses as In Stock on Nortel Glass' online shopping cart.

Reach out to Jean or Jennifer at Nortel to add some of these glasses to your new CiM - Creation Is Messy colors for 2023.

Looking forward to April showers and May flowers!

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

Today's post highlights another new 2023 CiM - Creation Is Messy color.

Waimea Misty Ltd Run is a teal misty opal. According to the CiM website, this color was an attempt to reproduce CiM Jade Palace into a misty/milky; the resulting color turned out very similar to 2022's Consuelo Misty/Milky. 

If you want to see my posts on these two glasses - check these out:
Jade Palace from August 2011
Consuelo Misty from May 2022

Sharing today, the first set are Goddess beads were created using Waimea Misty Ltd Run as the base glass.

Layered dots of CiM’s Birchwood, Barrier Reef and Black Currant were added. 

Double Helix Psyche Light was used to create the stormed portals captured under Zephyr encasements. 

Dots of Double Helix Psyche complete each bead. 

Spacers are pure Waimea Misty.

By using various glass combinations, it provides more variety in the beads within this set.

This focal bead was created with the remainder of the Waimea rod with streams of DH Psyche encased in Zephyr. 

The 2 spacers are pure Waimea Misty to show the true color of the glass.

I have checked availability of the new 2023 colors as In Stock on Nortel Glass' online shopping cart.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Pond Slime Misty Ltd Run

Creation Is Messy’s 2022 Pond Slime Misty Ltd Run is a green misty opal leaning to the yellow side of the spectrum. It is a very pretty color that speaks to the first shoots in a spring garden.

As the base glass was a green hue, I pulled out of my stash a CiM rare silver laden glass in the green palette named Dragon Ltd Run.

Starting on a base of this glass, I layered dots of CiM Dragon, CiM’s dense transparent pine green with aventurine named Eden and a Double Helix silver glass named Olympia Rain.

Clear portal dots of Double Helix Zephyr were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass producing streams of greens, golds and ivories.

CiM's green glass stayed true to it's original tone and melted beautifully and stayed stiff enough to maintain the layering without drifting or shifting.

Dots of Double Helix OX-376, a yellow-green tourmaline, jewel super luster, complete each bead.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Douglas Aster Ltd Run

CiM’s new Douglas Aster Ltd Run is pretty pastel purple. It melts beautifully and smoothly with no issues.

As a base for my Goddess style beads, I wanted to see if the base purple hue would fume when paired with Double Helix silver glass. As I expected it did.

Layered dots of CiM’s new Cafe Au Lait Ltd Run which has some silver content and a Double Helix test silver glass named KA357. 

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

Each portal turned into reduced storms of purples and pinks as a result of the reaction between the two silver laden glasses. The base glass of Douglas Aster fumed to a golden ivory losing the purple pastel.

Dots of DH Hyperion complete each bead.
