Umm now you are asking I really can't remember might be pink champagne but might be one of the effetre transparents - sorry 

Here is Kryptonite with Cis and Antique clear etched Kryptonite takes a bit longer to etch I have found

Wow, gorgeous bead, Anouk! I ordered some crocus too, can´t wait!

This one is black (might be Hades or Efftere black) with wigwag decoration. Wigwag and other decoration is made of Hades, Pumpkin, Celadon and Elphaba. I like a lot the way CIM colours act when made to wigwags or lattucino. When put to bead, they stay in their place and do not spread.

Here are some test beads I have made from CiM. They are not tecnically very good, but the target was to test colours. These are Peace encased rather heavily with said colour. Stringers are also Peace encased with said colour. Colours are from left to right: Rose Quartz, Pink Champagne, Dusk and Sepia. Pink Champagne got brownish tint in a flame and Dusk, which is kind of blueish/lavender gray in a rod became more neutral gray. Nice colours anyway. I think Dusk is one of uniques.

Another set. Beads are made same way that in a previous message, encasing is just lighter (and I encased Cranberry with clear to keep it lighter in flame), because the colours are stronger and more saturated. Colours from left to right: Sangre (my new favourite red!), Cranberry Pink, Simply Berry and Sapphire.



Edit, reason: Oops, sorry, posted too soon...

Thanks Les - still a couple more!

The darker is Bordello. I started to think it is actually quite nice dark choklit brown, it is only that I was expecting something else... Then I got idea to mix it with Efftre light brown transparent (018 is it?), because I have looked after nice transparent brown, which is not amber, but more...Brown I guess! The darker one is just Bordello over Peace (it is darker in person than in a picture) and lighter is lightbrown-bordello mix in a ratio about 4:1.

Ok, and as long as I am here hogging, I´ll send this one:



It is Electric Blue with decoration. Wigwag is made with Pumpkin, Celadon and Elphaba over Peace over clear. There is a brownish rection in a pumpkin, I just do not know with what it have reacted...

[Trudi]

After making Christmas Hearts for everyone else I finally made one for me!



The base is CIM's blush - a gorgeous pink, with Rubino & goldstone mixed in at the bottom, and decorated with "snow" and holly!

[Magpie]

Various blues (and I think a bit of eggplant between the blues and the pink) But the interesting thing is that the pink is CiM cranberry over eff white.......

[Magpie]

.....whereas this is CiM cranberry over eff ivory (totally different colour)

Oh yes, the greens are eff greens from my starter kit

[Hels4444]

I have used Kryptonite, grape and simply berry with a twistie for this fishy!!
