Avalon Milky

What it says on the tin, Avalon Milky is less translucent than Misty, but not opaque. Last Pic for direct comparison. 🙂🙂🙂

CiM Limeade

 Limeade is a very yellowish green, and a cloudy transparent. I did have some shocking, although not so bad I couldn't work. I did melt up the shocked pieces on a blob of clear to make the spiral horn.

Good color for spring. 😉

 

It is similar to Chirp, which was a very small batch, but less shocky and a little greener. 

 

 

CiM 584 Starry Night

A streaky blend with blue, that almost appears to fume and go greenish, like there is some silver in the base color. 

I'm not quite sure what I think of it, except I probably would have liked there to be more blue. Which is kind of my rule for life anyway. 😋

This one has limited availability - you'll have to go to Ed Hoy for it if you want it. 

CiM Avalon Misty

 CiM Avalon Misty

I think that Creation is Messy's move to naming the misty and milky opals with the name of the variant, instead of a new name is smart. The less I have to remember, the better. 🙂🙂🙂 

 

This is Avalon Misty, and I have Avalon Milky yet to test. But I don't want to get them mixed up in the kiln, so that's for another day.

CiM 733 Burnt Sugar and CiM 734 Brown Eyed Girl.

CiM 733 Burnt Sugar and CiM 734 Brown Eyed Girl.

Two transparent browns, yet very different. Burnt Sugar is a peachy, warm brown. Brown-eyed Girl is a yellowish, cool brown. 

 

The cluster of pieces in the pictures with the oval shape is the Brown eyed Girl. Both are super interesting, nice colours. I think I prefer the burnt sugar, because I find the warmth of it more welcoming.🤎🤎🤎😲

CiM 939 Pink Pansy

CiM 930 Pink Pansy
A happy transparent pink 💗 in the cranberry family 👪.  It has the slightly  warm cast to it that some call livery, and others call butterscotch.  I'd rather have butterscotch over liver any day unless we are talking internal organs, in which case,  I will stick with my liver. Lol.

As you can see from the pics, the color and angle of the light make a big difference in how it looks.

😉🙂🙂

CiM 834G Clear/Glow in the Dark

CiM 834G clear /glow in the dark

This is a glow in the dark like a chocolate chip cookie. Clear, with visible chunks of "glow."

That lack of control where the glow goes might make some people crazy. But it's still kind of fun. You would get glow spots in random places.

I didn't have any problem with this shocking

CiM 327 Scotch Broom

CiM 327 Scotch Broom.
A super vibrant yellow. As you can see, I  got a lot of opacity in it from the  heating and cooling cycles. Really vivacious color! 🍋🍋🍋🥰🥰🥰

CiM 227 Marmalade and CiM 225 Kniphoia

CiM 227 Marmalade and CiM 225 Kniphoia (named for the red hot poker plant, in case you missed the reference). ;-)

Both  are absolutely brilliant, delicious, transparent oranges.  Of the two clusters, the Marmalade is the one with the little fish, and the Kniphoia is the one with the round disc.

I  did find that the Marmalade took a little more effort to strike, and you might argue that it is a little toasty in colour. Overall though I think any colour difference between them, at least the way I use them, is very very subtle. Both are a delicious splash of transparent orangey goodness.  Yum! 🍊🍊🍊😍😍😍

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.
😍😍😍💙💚💙💚💙💚
