Default "Messy" glass? Anyone with any info?

Yes, I'm sure everyone knows I'm a boro guy through and through, but over the weekend a friend gave me some "messy" glass to try, and I'm going to soon, but I was wondering what everyone thought about it. Compatibility issues? Any pics of finished pieces using it? I know I got some pink and some celadon, but I'm not sure what else I got.

Thanks in advance for any advice...

Oh, it's nice glass. It's 104 and should be compatible with the other 104s. I find it's stiffer. Feels like Bullseye and I hear it doesn't etch well.

The rose quartz is my favorite and the new opal glass called Cirrus. They reformulated that and it looks like moonstone glass and stays that way. The pinks don't need to be struck and the color doesn't boil out.

I made this naked lady and this star out of the rose quartz.

Thanks.

Anyone know of a web site for the company that makes this glass or something where I can see a color chart of all the glass? It has sort of peaked my interest in 104 glass again. I just ordered some ASK 104 as well...

Thanks for the info.

I haven't used any 104 glass in quite a while, so it should prove interesting at the very least...

Ooooh... look at those pretty seahorses! I love the CiM glass especially the Ginger. It's a nice light beige color... there's none like it!

Yes, the ginger is really nice too. The Bordello is a beautiful deep rich wine color.

Thanks for the info everyone. What I'm wondering is this:

Does this glass do something other soft glass doesn't do? Does it have certain reactions with other glass? I know some of the soft glass is being loaded with silver so it will strike. Does this do that?

I'm just trying to figure out what makes it different from other soft glass (aside from the fact that the pink is actually pink).

It's not the silver glass like ASK or Double Helix. As far as I know, the CIM has no reactive glass at this time. The Bordello is a striking red, but the pinks are not.

I haven't tried any of their colors with intense black, but I haven't noticed any color reactions with othet glass. Though I think the Celadon might react with ivory.

Yup! Nice glass... Nope, it isn't loaded with silver or super reactive... but I do like some of the streaks you can get. It is stiffer and probably really great for sculpture. I really like the butter pecan, leaky pen and celadon best. I think Celadon is a great substitution for copper green!

The Celadon is really close to the Vetrofond Sea Green that everyone wanted and there was so little of.

I hear there are a couple of new colors on the way. A Peacock green and Halong Bay, which I'm not sure what color that is, I would think blue.

Cirrus rocks! With bordello, streaky sapphire stringers, dk silver plum. The photo is not great, but I hope you can see a bit of the opalescence. It's much better in person.

I'm just trying to figure out what makes it different from other soft glass (aside from the fact that the pink is actually pink).
If I had to guess, I'd say it's because they're trying to produce the colors that lampworkers have been crying for in "odd lots", but in a readily available glass in large quantities? Like reproducing the "moonstone" colors (cirrus, & the two soon-to-be-released shades) that are vintage & scarce & people go insane for, but can't get? And pink, like you said--that works without burning out. And that green that looks like the odd-lot that was going for insane prices for a while & now no one will part with what they have...that kind of thing?
Oh & colors that aren't available in other lines...like that beige...


Kimberly...I'm in with that leaky-pen/cirrus seahorse...omg...droool...that's soooo gorgeous...sigh...

JC! those beads with the celadon are incredible!

You are correct, LunaMoonShadow! We've been focused on filling in the gaps in the traditional 104 palette that has been available.

We haven't produced any silver colors - although some of our colors are a bit streaky (especially the Celadon).

Celadon reacts with Effetre Ivory. This set is swirled Celadon and Ivory, the dark in the center is from the reaction of the two.
