Recently, I was lucky enough to join the ranks of testers for Creation Is Messy glass. I have been a big fan of the colors that they provide to increase my palette, especially with my sculptural glass.
My angel shown here was made from entirely CIM glass. I love the colors.
One of the colors that I really love is Stone Ground, which is similar, but not exactly the same as Moretti's Opal Yellow. I used it in my angel's hair and was so happy to have found it. It makes a perfect pale blonde and will go well as part of my "fur palette" as well. Can't you picture a Golden Retriever or Blonde Lab with their coats this color?
One of the cool things about CIM's website is that there are comparisons listed on the website, so you can see the colors being used in real beads and comments by the users. If you click on the angel link above, you'll arrive at a page that showcases what I mean.
If you haven't had a chance to poke around on that website, take a few minutes to enjoy it and scout out new colors.
I noticed an opaque light blue (called "Zachary") that will be fantastic when it joins the ranks sometime in December.
So go hit up their website and enjoy how artist friendly it is. And while you're there, look at all the artist examples using the glass. It sure helps for visualization for your own work as well.
See you tomorrow, right here- http://www.StudioMarcy.blogspot.com
Oh, I adore CiM, and especially Stone Ground! I like it for sand on beach beads, and for pie crust on my pie beads! Beautiful angel, Marcy...is that Sangre for the reds? Another of my faves!
ReplyDeleteWell, If you have ever thought about writing some script to automate those things that you do many times a day, then you have a great and easy way to automate the entir e process. It comes without saying that a few imacros and firefox add-ons will automate all actions connected to a browser (Mozilla). If you would like to automate your system as such, then you may need another script, simple commands will automate your system. Even a beginner will automate things using a simple software called as sikuli all you need to do is to tell Sikuli what to do by giving some screenshots and easy commands.
ReplyDeleteA GUI can be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a mix of easy commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it just searches the screen for the image in the screenshot-which implies that you'll use it for anything. There is literally no limit on how you utilize it to automate things.
This is too good to be true, but if you watch the subsequent video, you'll come to know that this can be extremely easy. If you visit their home page, you get a lot of tutorials and support; it will be a cake walk even for beginners.
