CiM Tester Feedback

  • We asked our testers how Peace compares to other 104 whites. Most testers agreed that Peace is denser and stiffer.
“I use Peace almost exclusively. Love the color density, nice and opaque.” – Chris Haussler
“I love Peace; I won’t use any other white. I think it’s the best white out there: doesn’t scorch, melts like butter.” – Donna Dorman
“Peace is the only white I will use, others are TOO soupy / shocky.” – Elasia
“I don’t use Peace much, I am used to Italian white and I think Italian is a bit more stable.” – Maija-Leena Autio
“I have just discovered Peace and am running it through some of my regular work, especially making murrini. The color seems to be very dense, striking denser than it goes on at first. It seems to be just ever so less dense than the Italian pastel white, and also seems to be just a tad cooler in tone. Melts very nice, with no cracking problems at all. I would use the two interchangeably.” – Renee Wiggins
“I love Peace as it is stiffer.” – Starleen Colon
"Peace is a stiffer white which makes it better as a base for transparents, for stringer work, and also for encasing. Peace definitely has the reputation of being the best white." – Caroline Davis
"Since Peace came out, it’s my go to standard white. Peace is a little stiffer to work with and is more dense so this made it particularly better for polka dots on top of other colours - especially transparents. Often with other whites, the colour would stay partly translucent and not at all crisp." – Trudi Doherty
"Peace I generally love when I need a lot of detail and little movement." – Hillary Lawson

"Peace is the best white ever. It's so creamy . . . and super duper white. I like that." Watch Maria's polar bear demo on YouTube.

"Peace is my one and only go to for white. It is a beautiful solid opaque white."
– Suzy Hannabuss
"Peace is the white I use in my complex flower murrini."
– Rachel Childers
"Here is a photo of the 9 mixes with a bead on either end made from the color straight off the rod. CiM Peace and Effetre Orange 422. . .  I consider CiM Peace to be more stable than the four Effetre and Vetrofond 'whites' I have." Read more at Lori's blog.

“I love Peace for its denseness and that it often develops a separation line, giving an extra effect for less effort.” Check out Rachel's tutorial "Murrini simplified."

"A nice opaque pure white. It does do some interesting things as a silvered stringer - much like the Effetre Anice white does - the silver reacts with the white and gives you a yellowish colour. I'd show you a sample, but I sold it before I shot a picture!" Read more at DragonJools blog.
– Dwyn Tomlinson
"In this case I am using Peace which I find much stiffer in relation to Effetre white and it is my go to white for twistie making." Check out Jolene's tutorial on making a two color twistie.

“Peace has been one of my staple colours for quite a while now. I like it because it is a true White. Vetrofond White, while beautiful, has a slightly bluish cast to it. Effetre White is also nice, however some batches of it seem to be slightly translucent in thin layers.” Read more on Melanie’s blog.

Diane used Peace as a base for her owl tutorial in the Jan. 2012 issue of the Soda Lime Times.

"When I make sculptural animal beads, I always have to be careful when working with white because it tends to soften so much faster than any other color. I was really pleased with Peace - it was noticeably different. It acted much less soupy than the Moretti white -  it kind of reminded me of a 90 COE glass instead of a 104."
– Kari Chittenden
"I gave Peace a really good test when it came to stringer and sculptural on flat forms. Its stiffness works very well on both counts. I was able to use Peace as a very thin stringer and it worked very well and I had more control over it than Effetre white. On sculptural forms it remained much stiffer than Effetre white and held up even under quite a bit of heat, it took poking and marks from knives very well and allowed me to do more details that I would expect from its Effetre counterpart."

"Look what 2 thin stripes of Hades on the ends of Peace does- it somehow sucks into the middle of Peace and makes lines? I like!"

"I'm always on the lookout for new glasses that don't react to a wrap of silver wire - sadly, I won't be adding any of the CiM whites to my palette." Read more about Peace testing at Lush blogs, including tests with Hades dots on Peace, Triton hearts on Peace, and etched Peace.

"Though a rose cane is a very effective way to depict a rose on a glass bead, it is also a great detail cane for other decorative applications like feathered lines or bright pink squiggles."  Read more about Pat Frantz's rose cane made with Peace & Cranberry Pink at the Frantz Art Glass blog.

"I have been making some snowmen for the holidays out of glass, and I think CiM – Messy Color 'Peace' is a perfect white for making anything that is snow orientated. The combination of Peace and Sangre is perfect for making glass candy canes and other white and red holiday objects." Read more at the Frantz Art Glass blog.
