CIM stands for Creation Is Messy. They are suppliers of [[glass]] which hs a [[CoE]] of 104 and is compatible with [[Effetre]], [[Vetrofond]], [[Lauscha]] and the other 104 glasses. The messy colour pallettes are being extended regularly with new shades. They also produce a range of [[CoE]] 96 glass called Messy 96. Messy colour 104 and Messy 96 are not [[compatible]].

Occasionally CiM produce a pull of glass that does conform exactly to their colour specifications or one that is created for a test run. These occasional odd lots of glass are labled as "Messy Uniques" and are sold exclusively by Frantz art glass and associated sellers in the U.S.A.

[[Category:Types of Glass]]

Latest revision as of 10:03, 18 February 2011

CIM stands for Creation Is Messy. They are suppliers of glass which hs a CoE of 104 and is compatible with Effetre, Vetrofond, Lauscha and the other 104 glasses. The messy colour pallettes are being extended regularly with new shades. They also produce a range of CoE 96 glass called Messy 96. Messy colour 104 and Messy 96 are not compatible.

Occasionally CiM produce a pull of glass that does not conform exactly to their colour specifications or one that is created for a test run. These occasional odd lots of glass are labled as "Messy Uniques."

Creation in Messy 104 colours and stock numbers

Information on the working properties of CiM glass is a research project by members of the Frit-Happens community in the form of a prize competition Frit-Happens CiM Competition Thread The information below has been collated by Jolene Wolfe kitzbitz art glass and is intended as a guide only.
