CiM 321 Summer Haze

CiM 321 Summer Haze A misty opal in a pale straw yellow. Goes a bright lemon yellow when hot, but reverts to straw when cool. How it looks depends a lot on the light. see other pics. Such a nice pale color, more of a neutral than a yellow. I'd like to play more with this one.

CiM 576 Peacock Feather

CiM 576 Peacock Feather. This one's surprised me a little by being a little bit more subdued, grayish, Smokey, than I anticipated.
There's a lot of these lovely blue Greens in the latest batch of new CiM colours. I'm really enjoying the subtle variations in colours, and I think there's a lot of potential for doing shaded effects.😍😍😍

Pleas

e explain to me why the Google speech-to-text thinks that smokey and greens should be capitalized in the middle of a sentence? But not this sentence. Smokey. Greens. Smokey green Smokey green Smokey greens. Makes no sense.😝

comparison CiM Daydream vs Paradise

CiM Daydream vs Paradise. Pool vs Sky? Well it's never that simple, because here I have pool and Sky to compare it with. And as you can see the sky is an extraordinary shade of blue, but you don't see that every day, and the pool, varies depending on whether it is inShadow or light,  what the colour of the liner is, and whether or not you have algae growing in it. Either way both Daydream and Paradise are stunning colours. The Daydream is just a smidge Greener, it's hard to see in the sunlight photos it just appears to be a darker shade, but indoors under incandescent light you can see a greenish Hue to it. Swipe to see all.

CiM 833 Onyx

CiM 833 Onyx
Of course, the first thing you ask yourself about a new black is, what colour is it really? And does it do anything interesting? CiM Onyx looks to be a very good substitute for the traditional effetre intense black.
It is very very black, it is possible to get a slight purplish Tone If you really stress it and stretch  it thin. It will web, or as the dirty pour folks say, it will make cells,  when heated a lot.
It also seems to have just the slightest hint of a metallic Sheen in some places but I can't really show you that because you can't tell it from the highlights on the glass. 

Overall, really nice to work with. The barrel bead is dark ivory with onyx and melted in until it webs. The tablet bead starts as a base bead of white, with three horizontal stripes, and then melted until it is Flowing completely and all the stripes are running together, this requires a lot of heat and definitely gets the glass moving and pulling out thin, where you can see the hint of a dark purple. I don't remember how this Compares price wise to intense black, but I really like having it in regular sized rods, which the intense black it's harder to find that way.

Apologies for the weird capitalization, that's the Google speech to text and, I swear their idea of capitalization was written by somebody who did not speak English as a first language.

CiM 731 Chocolate

CiM 731 Chocolate. I love this colour, and I particularly like the Lacey effect in the leaf where it's pressed very thin. Unfortunately, the rod I had was also full of air bubbles, and it did a significant amount of shocking 😊
