Comparison

CiM pink lemonade, fruit punch, watermelon. Side by side. Are we ready for summer yet? Lol

CiM 730 Fruit Punch

CiM 730 Fruit Punch more pink! Crazy wonderful selection of pinks from #creationismessy. This is a salmony pink. 👍👍👍

CiM 219 Watermelon

CiM 219 Watermelon. Watermelon is my winner for the latest round of testing. it's a brighter, more saturated colour than fruit punch. It's a hard to describe colour , more of a light red than a pink. I like it.👍👍👍😍

Cim 916 Pink Lemonade

CiM 916 Pink Lemonade. Pretty color, but the rod I used was super shocky. Pre-heating it in the kiln helped a lot.

CiM 220 Circus Tent

CiM 220 Circus Tent. Circus tent is kind of like a filigrana, in that it has streaks of colour through a mostly clear rod. It gives you the impression of banners flying in the Wind oh, so I made these organic flying in the wind kind of shapes.😘🎪🎪🎪

CiM 923 Morgan

CiM 923 Morgan. Morgan is a soft dusty rose pink. I suspect it might be named for Morganite, which is the pink form of aquamarine, I believe, Beryl, which is Emerald when it's green. And yes that is Birdsong in the background, and yes that is snow on the ground. Because of worldwide pandemic wasn't enough we now have a 1-day summer. 😋

CiM 922 Luzern

CiM 922 Luzern oh, you're going to be so jealous of this one. This one is in really small quantities and will be hard to find. This is Lucerne which is a slightly darker version of Heather. I really like it





Heather on the left and Luzern on the right

CiM 218 Goldfish

This is CIM 218 goldfish. I had a lot of trouble getting this to strike, and as you can see, it didn't kiln strike. I will have to try it again and try a more deliberate strike, because well, it is is a pretty champagne colour, but it's not what you'd call a bright orange🤔🐡🐡🐡

Update. I had better success striking it the second time around.

CiM 920 Pink Dogwood

CiM 920 Pink Dogwood. A lovely ethereal flower pink in a kind of Cloudy transparent, if you know what I mean. You can see that it's like a veiled cane at the end with layers of colour. Very very pretty😍😍😍🌸 #dragonjools #softglass #creationismessy #cimglass #colortesting

CiM 124 Fire Dragon

CiM 124 Fire Dragon. A nice transparent red that strikes slowly and not in the kiln, giving you some options to play with varied color. 😁🐉🐉🐉🔥🔥🔥

CiM 922 Heather

CiM 922 Heather. A lovely, lovely color. Rods that have been in the flame tend to shock the end off. Can be a bit  boily. But what a color! 😍😍😍
