Mostly about lampwork beads and the glass I use to make them.

CIM Linen, Adobe, Peachy Keen, and Ginger Lampwork beads
Another set of soft, pale, warm toned neutral colours. I think my favourite part of this set is how the CIM Linen, a pale, slightly greenish beige works with the CIM Adobe which is a very soft, warm terracotta colour. Really you could wear these colours with almost anything and they are perfect for summer tans and bright white t-shirts. The disc beads, which are a juicy peach colour in natural lighting are made with a core of CIM Peaches & Cream which has been encased in Peachy Keen.
I had a small problem with cracking on one bead (which didn't make it into the set, of course) but I think it was my fault since the bead wasn't even encased. However, I would strongly recommend NOT encasing Linen. I think there are beads where it might work but I've had a couple crack on me several days after coming out of the kiln so I think it's a bit risky. It's is beautiful as a base colour and very nice to work with.
