Hi,

There is a new brand of glass on the market that I just heard about by a company called Creation Is Messy (gotta love that name) aka CiM... and... as with all new types of glass I hear about, I just had to take it for a spin behind the torch... I fell in love with this new glass... it's absolutely fabulous and with a COE of 104 is totally compatible with Effetre/Moretti. I hope that CiM expands their spectrum of available colors very soon because, like I said, I'm in LOVE with this glass! It's very much like System 96 glass in the fire... working like butter in the flame... Heavenly!

Here is what's new on ebay... this collection includes some beads (the "ginger" colored beads) created with this new CiM glass I spoke of above... the rest of the beads in this collection were made using Effetre/Moretti glass, a tried and true lampworker's standard... simply click on the collection's title below and that link will take you directly to the ebay auction.

GINGER ::: A collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in shades of gentle ginger, khaki, amber, topaz and deep grays with hints of teal blues here and there... some created on a silvered background... perfect colors for Autumn and Winter! There is a matching FOCAL bead included in this collection.

There are 13 beads in this collection, including a 26mm lentil shaped focal/centerpiece beads and 12 smaller (18mm to 19mm) lentil and pastille shapes... these beads are all decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on ribbons... this strand of beads measures just shy of 9-1/4 inches long.





That's it for now... hoping all is well with everyone.

Take good care, Gracie
