"All of these colours were easy to use, they were well behaved, not shocking unduly or scumming or boiling. All of them stay the same color nicely - although the Dark Steel Grey and the Mockingbird can get quite dark when used thick. It's really striking how different grey can be."

Messy Tester's Feedback
-
Mockingbird was melted because we have frequent requests for a transparent gray that tends toward blue.

Mockingbird is a color shifter.
Mockingbird is a gray under bright sunlight, but in soft light it has a blue hue. – Heather Sellers

"Mockingbird is a lovely grey that reminds me a lot of CiM Twilight, but slightly on the bluer side and just a hair lighter. There aren't a lot of cooler greys in the 104 palette, so this is a nice addition. The rods look a little more blue than what the glass actually comes out as after being annealed. CiM also reports that Mockingbird is a color shifter, but the difference under fluorescent lights vs. daylight bulbs is very, very slight." Read more at Kandice's blog. |

"Starting on a base of Mockingbird, a transparent gray on which Double Helix Ekho silver glass frit was sprinkled and reduced. Mockingbird is a great base for silver glass and assists in coaxing out metallic hues of blue, pink, silver and gold." Read more at Darlene's blog. |

| "It's grey. It's hard for me to get excited about grey. Other tester's report that it colour shifts, becoming bluer in some lights. Whatever. It's a nice, well-behaved transparent grey." Read more at DragonJools blog. |
"Mockingbird is more grey than CiM Slate; I’d say that Mockingbird is a blue-grey and Slate is a grey-blue. These photos were taken under a daylight lamp." Read more at Laura's tumblr. |
