Discontinuing Messy Colours...

helenfc · June 13, 2011, 08:40:09 AM

So my latest Frantz Newsletter says that Creation Is Messy is discontinuing the following colours:
Lipstick, Soylent, French Blue, Halong Bay, Cornflower, Count von Count, Larkspur, Butter Pecan and Khaki (www.frantznewsletter.com)

OK, some of these I dont care about, but Butter Pecan?!

Gutted! And Lipstick is one I was just growing to love! Think there may be a large Butter Pecan order going in later

Eeeeeeeek - I can live without some of these but not Butter Pecan, Cornflower, Soylent or French Blue - they are staples and feature in many of my murrini recipes!!!! Will have to start testing out the effetre equivalents!!!
Stocking up - thanks for the heads up Helen!

eeeeeeeekkkkkk how can they discontinue butter pecan and larkspur? they are like my 2 favourite CIM colours

Don't have the money to stock up either

I just decided I really like cornflower, which is a bit of a big deal considering I never use blue.

I know $:-\$ Frantz have them at 60% off, so I was really considering bulk buying some BP from them, its $12 lb, whereas here its around £10 for 1/4kg... Its my failproof neutral base colour (moan whine whinge)

It's so sad! Butter pecan is the only suitable one I've found for caucasian bosom buddies! Ive just ordered a pound of it from frantz and have stocked up when I was at flame off so should have just over a kilo but it's a crying shame!

I've just started using it for my dollies too ...waah!

You should all let Kathy Seamands know how you feel about these colours - particularly Butter Pecan.

OH NO!

Lipstick is one of my favourites, only red I use

There's a fair few in there that I would also like.

I've sent a begging email about Butter Pecan - I hope they rethink that particular decision at least.

Begging, sob story sent.
