Green & Cream

Lampwork Glass BeadsI couldn't decide what colour beads to make today so I texted Chris and asked him (he's good like that) and he said I should make green ones. This tied in nicely with a request for a green and cream bracelet that I had from a family member last night so I spent the day making green and cream beads.

These are a mix of CiM Dirty Martini, CiM Split Pea, CiM Butter Pecan Unique (a very pale version) and Effetre Sage Green transparent. I think this mix of colours makes for a really fresh-looking set of beads.

EDIT : Chris has named these beads 'Pacers' after Pacers Mints which were a sweet available in the 1980s. Here's a link to the television advert for them. I have no recollection of these sweets but Chris is a year-and-a-bit older than me so maybe they were just a tad before my time!

  1. I just ordered a bunch of CiM -- I love it! But I can't make beads like you can.

    How are wedding plans coming along?

  4. Scrummy beads; I remember Pacers, but then I'm much older than you and Chris! The colour is exactly right.
