So, who took off with all the CIM Mermaid Unique?
At least show us what you've been doing with it

I know Kandice, I fell madly in love too, and managed to secure 3 lbs before I went abroad and when I came back it was all gone!
I was wondering what everybody else had been doing with it.
I think it's a splendid blue
Here with Lauscha steel blue, CIM stone ground and Effetre pistachio 415
and here with Red Copper Green
The only way of getting this color before was enamel, so I'm really excited

Mermaid unique is the most beautiful blue. I really really really wish they would make this a regular in their color line.

Maybe we should become a demanding mob.  I didn't order it when I ordered last and now it's all gone.

I wonder if they would put in production a color that is so close to another production color?
I am such a sucker for blue, and except for Lauscha steel blue, CIM glacier and this one, I find most blues in the 104 palette a little boring

Oh man, I hope I got some. I do tend to order 1/4 of the uniques to fill out my box. It reminds me of the Lauscha prussian blue that came before she who must not be named started using the label for wedgewood blue.
I adore the color combination you used Flonche!!

Thank you Kandice and Susan. Shit, I thought you two and Melanie and erose each had 50 lbs of it and I was kinda teasing you.
Prussian blue is a good description for it

Kandice, I think your raving review is the reason it is all sold out!
what a beautiful colour. I fully agree with the opinion that most blues in the 104 palette is quite boring. I hope CIM can reproduce it in future!

Beautiful beads Kandice and Flonche. I never had any either.
Chrissy, if I had a rod I would send it to you. You would get at least 1,000 beads from it. hahahaha

I hear you. It came at a time when I couldn't buy glass either and I dug in the savings for it. That batch of uniques that came together (with light Butter Pecans and the Adobe) just could not be passed.

I only have three rods of this colour and am about to make test beads with it on Thursday.
Sane people would make nice, pretty things from such a pretty colour but I'm about to squander it on my blog. See how much I love you all?
I am praying that there is still some in China waiting to get on a boat.

Me? Me? I wish! It looks gorgeous and I think I may have 5 rods of it, but only because I bought 5 of the Frantz CiM Unique samplers.
May have to go buy 5 more.

So Flonche..... I finally tried it. And why (when I see my posts here that I don't remember  ) I didn't sooner I have no idea. It's gorgeous alright and when I pulled the beads out just now I thought "hey it's like Lauscha prussian blue!" lol. Maybe it will be on a future shipment like Mike talked about in the thread last night? We can hope!

Atlantis is a slightly lighter and slightly more translucent version of Mermaid Unique.

Oh good to hear. I just ordered 1/4lb so hopefully I'll try it out before I find it's gone, lol.

Dammit. She loves it.
Oh I can see all these lil' flowers in your Etsy store, people will kill for them. Especially because it is quite streaky (which I usually hate), I'm sure it will make really cool flower disks.
I have actually used it mostly by itself because its tendency to "streak" and separate makes dot designs a little tricky, plus it likes to swallow most colors or make them bleed...
This was one of my favorite set with it, but it was a bitch to work with, I must admit.
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/40439093 (sorry the picture is really off, white balance problem)
This simple set of spacers has both Mermaids in it
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/43108404
I can understand how you would forget colors with so many to try in the different COEs you work with.

Is Atlantis an opal?
I don't quite like the CIM opals because they always do a weird crackly-looking thing in the perimeter. Like Plum, which is a stunning color otherwise, or Chalcedony

Atlantis isn't an Opal like Rose Quartz or Crocus, it is more like Chalcedony or Kryptonite, not quite as pastel as say Grumpy Bear or Thai Orchid.

I guess I'll have to try it. The pictures on the CIM page are so different from one another that it's really hard to tell what's going on.
ok now back to the Peach thread!

This is Atlantis. It is encased which makes it look lighter.
