Today, I am sharing some of the purple glasses offered by CiM - Creation is Messy.
The focal bead was created on a base of CiM Emperor, a golden transparent purple, with Double Helix Kronos 2 silver glass powder wrapped in silver wire and encased in Zephyr.
CiM Enchanted Ltd Run was added to each ends with streams of Double Helix Melia added and lightly reduced to a metallic shine. The spacers are CiM Amethyst Ltd Run.
I added Boysenberry to each end and hand formed it into a barrel shape. The surface decoration is Double Helix Helios for a golden shine when reduced. The spacers are also Boysenberry.
This last bead set highlights another of CiM's purple moonstones, Aladdin Ltd Run.
The focal big hole bead started with a base of CiM Wisteria Ltd Run on which stormed Double Helix Clio was swirled and encased in clear glass. Aladdin was added to each end and streams of Clio was added as surface decoration.
CiM's website is my go to resource for information and previews of each color in their extensive color offerings. I am impressed each time I visit to see how the lamp working community shares their beautiful creations, ongoing discoveries and feedback.
Proud to be part of this collaboration effort!
This post displays beads with two new colors of CiM- Creation is Messy glass that sold out almost as fast as it was offered.
Purple glass seems to be most sought out as a favorite and the two hues highlighted in this post are no disappointment.
CiM's Lavender Water Ltd Run is a transparent color that shifts between lavender and grey depending on the lighting.
CiM's Wisteria Ltd Run is a misty opal lavender that I have previously posted about. Click here for it paired with Double Helix Aurae.
For the beads below, CiM's Lavender Water Ltd Run was the base of the centre of the focal faux vessel with CiM's Wisteria Ltd Run shoulders. Mixed Double Helix silver glass was swirled and encased with clear. The spacer beads are CiM's Wisteria Ltd Run.
The set below uses the same combinations of glass and the focal big hole bead was shaped into a long barrel. Notice the mother of pearl shine from the silver glass in the natural light.
In this last bead, I experimented with Double Helix's Notos and 99% fine silver wire. CiM's Lavender Water Ltd Run was the base with the Effetre clear capturing the suspended reactions in clear.
Although these glasses are showing as SOLD OUT at the CiM- Creation is Messy site, you may want to reach out to a local distributor to check their stock availability.
CiM colors are available through www.nortelglass.com . Contact Jean or Jennifer for your glass needs!

Just a quick post to show you the glass combination discovery using Double Helix stormed Clio over CiM's Peppermint Cream.
Look at that reaction in the centre of each portal drop in the centre bead! Wow... gotta make more of these!
The focal bead was created on a base of CiM's new lavender named Wisteria. A few future posts will focus on Wisteria Ltd Run, so stay tuned.
The dots are layered starting with CiM's Peppermint Cream, Ltd Run stormed Double Helix Clio. The dots were then reduced and encased in Effetre clear, Highlight dots of Clio complete the focal bead.
The other two beads in this set are on bases of CiM Enchanted Ltd Run a pink lavender transparent. I dotted it with Double Helix Clio and encased the bead in clear. I like that when the base glass was paired with silver infused glass, the peachy pink cast of Clio over the purple hue is a nice compliment to the focal bead.
Til next time,

Well despite the snow and cold weather outside, the glass studio is brightening up for Spring 2019.
The new color samples from CiM- Creation Is Messy arrived and as you may have seen on the Pendragonfyre Facebook page, there are lots to experiment with.
Today's post highlights a glorious new purple that was the first color to catch my eye in this new package!
Wisteria Ltd Run is a misty opal lavender. Like most lavender glasses, it is a color shifter - it goes bluer under fluorescent lighting, and a warmer pink cast under natural lighting.
For this initial test, I tried pairing it with Double Helix's popular silver reduction glass, Aurae.
The silver glass did fume the surface of the Wisteria bead slightly, but the result is still very beautiful. The spacers show true color of the glass.
All the new CiM colors are available through www.nortelglass.com. Contact Jean for your glass needs!
Stay Tuned for new colors and new beads!
