Kathy very graciously sent me a sample of CIM glass out here to lonely Australia and the lampworkers I've shared it with have gone wild over it. I have made the most delicious blue tone frit using Celandon, Leaky Pen, French Blue and Effetre/Moretti Turquoise Chiaro (alabastro), Turquoise Chiaro (pastel) and Lapis Medio (pastel) The frit was used over a base of Effetre/Moretti Bianco (pastel) and blended beautifully. Celandon is the perfect lift for blue based frits. It's just the right medium green/blue tone to add depth. I annealed it just fine, although I do already anneal rather higher than most people at 520 degrees Cel with a soak of 45 minutes. I LOVE bordello and particularly love pulling it into encased goldstone stringers, ditto with peacock. When I get a moment from uni studies I will post my efforts.
Thank you Kathy for all your information and help.
