CiM - Creation Is Messy 2023 New Color - Volcanic Ash Milky Ltd Run

CiM - Creation Is Messy created a number of new limited run colors for 2023 that were based on popular colors from the past.

Today, I am showing off a couple of beads for the new Volcanic Ash Milky Ltd Run.

Volcanic Ash is based on older CiM color French Grey turned into a misty/milky opal. 

The beads within this post are created with the milky sister.

 

I used Volcanic Ash Milky as the base on which a layer of Jetage Studio's Lumiere Luster named Strawberry Rhubarb was added. 

This luster is a gorgeous color shifting flake that is a bright deep peachy-pinks that shift to bright greens to deep greens and yellow depending on the angle it is viewed.

The luster glitter flakes were encased with Double Helix Zephyr and shaped into cube beads.

The round spacers are pure Volcanic Ash Milky to show the glass on its own. 

It is a classic grey.

I have noticed in the last few beads made with Lumiere Lusters that encasing with clear seems to have a noticable separation between the luster flakes and the clear glass if the layer of luster is too thick. It does not appear to be a crack from compatibility, but rather the fact that I may have used too much flakes in the luster layer.

I plan to test again using other clear glasses to determine the right balance of glitter as the clear glass provides a perfect magnification of the shine.

 

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.

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.

Revisiting CiM - Creation is Messy - Ceylon Ltd Run

Starting on a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy's Ceylon Ltd Run glass, I layered dots of CiM's Birchwood Ltd Run, a creamy opaque ivory with silver, Double Helix Chloe silver infused glass and capped with Effetre clear glass.

Dots of Double Helix OX-459 completed each bead.

There are spacers of Ceylon to show the glass a a transparent neutral brown.

I also used CiM’s Ceylon as a base for two focal beads combining with Lumiere Luster’s Strawberry Rhubarb flakes.

"Strawberry Rhubarb" is a gorgeous color shifting flake that is a bright deep peachy-pinks that shift to bright greens to deep greens and yellow depending on the angle it is viewed.

The barrel bead with the frilled edge combined the Ceylon and cluster along with Double Helix Aether and Effetre clear glass. Highlights of Double Helix OX-459 was reduced to a shiny glow.

The flat barrel bead was created with the same glass and cluster with the addition of Double Helix Chloe ends.
