CIM Sprout, Key Lime and Mojito

There's something about summer that just makes me want to see bright shades of yellow and frosty shades of green.  Must be some kind of frozen margarita syndrome.  This set contains beautiful shades of yellow and green glass and altogether they create this fizzy, "look at me" set of beads.  For these beads I've used CIM Sprout a beautiful, pale cucumber green pastel, CIM Key Lime a brighter, more acidic pastel green, CIM Mojito a gorgeous warm, transparent green, Effetre Yellow Lemon Light Special, Effetre Pale Emerald Green and, of course, Effetre White.
These colours just look great next to skin tones and I think that using contrasting elements like red leather or red pearls would be amazing with these greens.  All the glasses were very nice to work with, melting easily and playing together quite well.  The Sprout and the Key Lime are a bit streaky and will mottle a bit if over worked but other than that they are lovely glasses.
