What's not to love about a rich, dark honey amber mixed with pastel turquoise and green. These colours look great on everyone and go with pretty much everything. I could make them over and over (and have made them quite a few times).
This set is made with three CIM colours. The warm honey brown comes from CIM Maple and CIM Mink and the pastel green is CIM Sprout. The lovely soft turquoise is Effetre Antique Green. I'm not sure why it's called green because even though it is definitely a turquoise colour, I read it a little more blue than green but either way it's a beautiful colour.
A few comments on CIM Maple. This is a very interesting glass. It is a dark clear transparent amber in rod form but goes kind of milky or opalescent when melted. It is very stiff but still very easy to work with and the final result goes back to a very transparent amber.
Also some nice silver line reactions between the Antique Green and Maple. It's hard to see in the pictures but if you look closely at the green bead near the front in the first picture, you can just make out sparkly bits of silver around the blue dots. Very pretty in person.
