CiM Tester Feedback

  • Testers report that Heffalump shifts in color depending on the type of lighting.
  • Heffalump is unique to the 104 lampworking palette.
"Heffalump is more saturated in color than Effetre Lavender, and does not really have any blue in it like Periwinkle.  It is a true lavender or light purple." – Bethany Lemasters
"I love the intensity of pigment in Heffalump compared to effetre Lavender. The color is more saturated with almost a more pink cast with some light streaking." – Genea Crivello
"Heffalump is pinker than other 104 opaque pinks." – Pat O'Brien
"Heffalump is a little bluer than CiM Rapunzel, but pinker than Effetre Lavender Pastel." Read more at Melanie's blog. – Melanie Graham
  • Testers report that Heffalump rods often look different from batch to batch, but once worked they are a consistent hue.
"Once worked in the flame there seems to be no difference between each side of my test beads. Happily this means that I could mix and match between either batch of Heffalump and achieve consistency in creating a set of beads, despite there being apparent differences between the batches in rod form." Read more on Craft Pimp. – Jolene Wolfe
"Heffalump - the latest shipment came in a little grayer in the rod - but works up pretty much identical to the old batch." Read more at DragonJools blog. – Dwyn Tomlinson

"Silver on top of Heffalump reminds me of what happens with silver on top of Vetrofond Seashell Swirl. The silver turns greyish but with pink and blue blushes to it that are quite attractive if you reduce and encase it. If you don't reduce and encase it, it sits on top of the bead like a brownish crust, fuming the Heffalump yellow around itself." Read more at Melanie's blog.

Melanie uses Heffalump frit in her blend "Bozzy Boop." See more of her 104 compatible FrittyBits blends.
– Melanie Graham
"I decided that the Heffalump and periwinkle were a bit too similar for my tastes. Heffalump colour-shifts from pale pink to lavender blue, and periwinkle is bluey-purple – on top of dark transparent turquoise they both look purplish. On the tubular bead, it has periwinkle on the end and Heffalump just past halfway down and they look almost the same." Read more at Heather's blog.

"I use Heffalump with Beadgoodies Mystic frit for Beads of Courage hearts and it is a lovely combination."
– Diane Woodall
"Overall - a pretty colour, a soft, pale purple but those who make beads for sale online will curse it - as getting a good picture of it will be a challenge." Read more at DragonJools blog.

“Messy Colors so lend themselves to making bell flowers. Love the translucency.”
– Leslie Anne Bitgood
“Heffalump, CiM's lavender opaque glass, replaced my usual Effetre Pale Lavender. Heffalump is more vivid and has less of a tendency to fade than PL, and just glows under lights.” Read more at Kandice's color blog.
– Kandice Seeber
"Heffalump matches Swarovski Matte Amethyst crystals."
– Bethany Lemasters
"The nice thing about Heffalump is that it doesn't burn out like the Effetre 221 Pale Lavender tends to - it's a bit darker and more dense." Read more at Kandice's color blog.
