CIM841 Diaphanous Misty

I made a sculptural bird bead with Diaphanous Misty. Loved this color and easy to work with. Much warmer tone than the other ‘moonstone whites.’ I began with a clear ‘core’ body and then encased in Diaphanous Misty. This gives an opportunity to see encasement with the color. The head, wings and tail were added straight from the rod. I used Reichenbach Deep Black for the base of the beak followed by Effetre Pastel Yellow. The eyes were also Reichenbach Deep Black.”

“The color change with this glass was unexpected. I can only guess that it was due to a chemical reaction with the silvered ivory. Despite that, I actually really like the color it turned out to be. When layered over the silvered ivory core it changed to a very pale, warm gold color with just a hit of opacity. The two glasses played well together and I didn’t get any cracking. I’d buy just because I like the color I did get with it . . . a nice ‘happy accident.'”
