Re: CiM "show and do tell" Competition

[Ilona]

I have been playing with eggplant & count von count and added a SIS swirl.

[Lush!]

Love the bicone, Ilona, I wish I could make that shape .... *sigh*

Has anybody else noticed this phenomenon with CIM Plum - it kind of "devitrifies"



and its getting on my nerves!  (all the purple beads are Plum, but they look like completely different glasses)

[Lush!]

I had a little play with the CIM Plum and Effetre turquoise.  The plum has come out lovely and dark, and you can just about see a reaction ring round the turquoise dots on the edge.

Here's a little mermaid that I made after I just received some Dirty Martini glass after viewing this thread.

ps  Thanks Jo.  Because you were so kind to offer to help me, it made me try harder to learn how to do it.

I know I have posted these on the S&T but these are all made from Cim.

The first is made from Sangria with a band of Ginger and SIS, and is finished with Clear dots.


I love these, they are made from efettre Slate Grey and a band of Leaky Pen and SIS, and finished with Slate Grey dots. I just love the subtle way the Leaky Pen has seemed to take over the Slate grey.


This next set is made from Plum and a band of Desert Pink & SIS and finished with Larkspur dots. The Desert Pink has nearly been gobbled up by the Plum.


The last set is Larkspur and a band of Grape Ape & SIS finished with Larkspur dots, I was really chuffed with the Larkspur I think the colour is lovely and totally different to the rod. I did find it had bubbles in the rod though.



I have listed these on my site now

[Lush!]

That is so pretty Ingrid, kryptonite is such a gorgeous, fresh colour 

All the main beads in this set have a CIM Heffalump base with dots in Effetre Rubino, Opal Yellow and there's a touch of CIM Lapis too.
