But CiM's Dirty Martini is alcohol free - it is a very pale green glass with just a hint of grey about it. Since it's been available it has been one of my favourite glasses as it is just so well behaved! It is a clean, crisp colour with a slightly stiffer consistency to it which makes it superb for encasing with transparent glasses as it holds its shape and doesn't drag about the place. The 'Apple & Blueberry' beads pictured below are Dirty Martini encased thinly with CiM Mojito - a proper cocktail of glass!



Thanks for all of the wonderful information Laura, you have saved me a lot of testing.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love all these beads but the ones right at the bottom are really special. I am thoroughly enjoying your reports on CIM colours and look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteI love how you share what other glasses you use in these color tests!
ReplyDeletePersonally I know nothing about beads and just come here for the eye-candy. Even so I enjoyed your explanation, especially of the 'reaction line'.
ReplyDeleteAnd those apple and blueberry beads are delicious..
omg. this is gorgeous. the gree/purple swirlies. what purple/blue? did you use? i love that. i'm guessing i need to put in a new order for CIM glass. love love!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to leave such fab comments!
ReplyDeleteThe purple-blue in the 'Apple & Blueberry' ones is Effetre Lavender/Lavender Blue. It's got several names but the number is 247.
