Creation is Messy New Color Testing: Harvest, Monarch, Canoe, Bone, Tardis

From Left to Right (Phoenix, Harvest, Creamsicle, Monarch, Alley Cat) 

Harvest is a festive Fall coral.  The new color addition is slightly lighter than CiM's Phoenix with a blush of pumpkin.  The glass is quite firm which nicely lends to sculptural projects.  No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing. 

Monarch is an opaque Autumn butterscotch.  A lighter version of CiM's Alley Cat, the new color has a hint of burnt umber.  No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing. 


Canoe is a warm, toasted chestnut.  The glass features a hint of russet when worked with a cool tool.  The new color has a lovely hint of expresso brown and is a unique addition to the 104 palette.  When introduced to fine silver, the glass actually becomes lighter in color.  (See photo below)
Colors from Left to Right:  2 beads made from Tardis, 2 beads made from Bone, 2 beads made from Canoe.


Bone is a grayish ecru.  The opaque glass is perfect for Halloween skulls and other sculptural work.  A fantastic new addition to the CiM family.  When wrapped in fine silver foil, the glass turns a rusty, burnt umber.  No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing. 

Tardis is a polar blue.  The color is vibrant in sunlight, yet subtle under indoor lights; a bluish green Ming of sorts.  Inert when paired with fine silver (see example photo featured earlier in this post).  No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing.
