The latest reaction of CiM's test color gives me butterflies. The initial color is a transparent Emerald, but a reaction occurs when paired with a dark ivory that awakens the nutty glass nerd inside. Kind of like the joker's guttural laugh rising from my soul, but I digress.... back to the cool reaction which creates a new band of color between the emerald and ivory glass. This is not a moody metallic line of demarcation one might expect, but a rich avocado halo of awesomeness. Just another reason for flameworkers who love green to be counting the days until CiM's new color release date.

Laguna Agate

Another take on my "Urban Haute" design with new, rich colors from CiM:  Cobblestone, Heartthrob, Chia, and Mahogany.  The end result reminded me of a lovely Laguna agate cabochon which I purchased a few years back.  A bit of Southwest flare!

Urban Haute

A mix of turquoise, emerald, lemon, and pumpkin, accented by silvered ivory.  The simple color palette is one of my favorites.  Enjoy!

Windswept No. 2

Smaller than the original focal, this smooth bi-cone measures approx. 50mm x 15mm.  Same glass as before, however one can see the difference in reactions.  The copper mesh took on a magenta hue, while the Double Helix Kronos is a jeweled sapphire with slight transitioning to a milky blue.
