CiM Testing: London Fog

Handmade lampwork glass heart bead pendant by Laura Sparling made with CiM London Fog

London Fog is the misty opal version of Unicorn. It’s more transparent and has that really beautiful opalescent colour flash thing when the sunlight hits it.

I encountered no shockiness, bubbling or pitting, but I found it is quite soft so don’t get working it too hot. The heart bead kept losing its shape as I was working on it but the glass stood up to repeated heating, cooling and shaping really well. Very pretty glass!

The beads were photographed indoors in natural daylight.
