Messy Tester's 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-Knable
  • 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."

"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

“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.

"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.
