Posted onCreation is Messy – Spring 2018 Lineup
Posted onI’ve had the pleasure of testing out some of the CiM new colours for Spring 2018! I believe these are going to be available at the Gathering so should be in stores sometime around then? Some great colours to add to the lineup.
Val Cox – New Frit Blends Coming Soon!
Posted onhttp://www.valcoxfrit.com/ – these blends should be available within the next week or two! Stay tuned. I cannot wait to get working with these beautiful new blends.
CiM Harvest and Chartreuse
Posted onI tested two colours for Creation is Messy recently – Harvest and Chartreuse. Here are my results! Also I’ve come to realize that this website needs a bit of a makeover and some updating, so I will be working on that. I’d really like to get back to blogging about my glasswork and colour experiments so stay tuned! These spacer beads are available through my Etsy shop, http://madeforyoulampwork.etsy.com/

This was a beautiful buttery soft and creamy opaque orange. It gave me some really pretty blush as I worked it (the glass was not all one tone but gave me some nice variation). It also etched beautifully.

This is a really brilliant bright acid green. A tiny bit shocky and bubbly to work with but I am never “gentle” with glass – I tend to go right into the flame with it. And I found it manageable once I got the rod going. This glass only etched very slightly.

New Val Cox Frit Colours!
Posted onWell, here is something to get excited about – a whole new set of blends from Val Cox Frit! I just got mine last week so all I have had time to do so far is spacers, but I am absolutely loving each and every one of these blends, and I can’t wait to see more of them… when I get caught up on my orders I will be doing a ton more experimenting!

And a few more Creation is Messy colours!
Posted onI think this is the last of the new colours. Frantz has some of the 2015 colours in stock now!
Some more Creation is Messy
Posted onHere are some more of the new CiM colours – out later this month I think? I only had a small amount of each to play with and am looking forward to getting my hands on more!
Creation is Messy Colour Previews
Posted onThe new colours are (almost?) out from Creation is Messy! I know that Frantz should have them all in stock by mid/late February. I was lucky enough to get my hands on them a little early so here are some previews. Definitely some of these that I will be adding to my regular lineup. Are there any here that you would like to see more of? More photos coming soon as I still have quite a few rods to try out 🙂 My favorites so far are Aegean, Frozen, Duck Egg, Tortoise, Nectar, and Pollen.
And look at how pretty “Tortoise” etches…
