Apparently - I should not speculate that something is a one-trick pony, because, dammit - it makes me go out and look for other uses. What...

Not getting as much torch time in as I would like, but here is a little indulgence I got myself. Ta da!   What is it, you ask? Well...

Marbles - that's what I've been working on lately. Soft glass marbles. Starting to get stuff that I don't hate. Photographing ...

Indulged myself in a new marble mold. I made a large marble the other day that got away from me - it was actually too large for the molds th...

In case you didn't know - Creation is Messy (CiM) listed their discontinued and out of stock colours in their colour archives, here . Us...

This is an Effetre streaky purple pink - that I do not seem to have a number for. It resembles EDP with a Rubino core. It attempts to devi...

All in the same picture - the tawny Effetre colours. From the top - with their rods below, Butterscotch, Honey Swirl, Tigereye, Amazon. (Wei...

Well - you're definitely not going to get bored with this colour. If you can't get at least 4 different looks out of it - you...

This is another streaky colour - not as warm as Effetre Tigereye - more like a dark version of Effetre Butterscotch. Both are self-col...

Woohoo! Love this! Streaky and tiger-y. Very like the patterns in tigereye - without the chatoyancy, of course. It goes very red while ho...

This is Effetre 736 - Honey Swirl. Also a yummy colour - a lighter version than the Effetre Butterscotch. All three are self-coloured bead...

I've had this some time - finally got around to testing it.  It really is a Werther's Butterscotch candy colour. Yum. It also goes...

For comparison side by side, three of the new colours from CiM - from the top - 417 Sherbert (definitely green), 710 Seashell (close to iv...

Well, CiM calls this " an opaque greenish ivory " - and puts it in with the greens. It is an opaque pale green. Perhaps a little...

CiM Seashell is a pale creamy colour that could be a slightly pinkish ivory. It is actually very close to my own skin tone - which really sa...

CiM Sherbert - Sherbert they called it - and Sherbert it is. A smooth cool, creamy green mint or maybe pistachio colour. All three beads...

Just so you can see both Breeze and Mediterranean in the same picture - here they are together. CiM tells me that Mediterranean may not be...

CiM Mediterranean - a transparent dark blue-green. This is another beautiful dark teal. It is quite dense - on left are two self colour...

 Ah - now we're talking. Breeze is a breezy dark aqua-teal, like a Blue Zircon colour. Very, very yummy. You could just crank out spa...
