Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Olive is an opaque olive yellowish green.
"I'm beyond happy to have a more 'natural' green in the palette! This [Olive] is very very close to Commando, this is a tad more green." – Elasia
  • Olive is unique to the 104 lampworking color palette.
"Super replacement for the once treasured Effetre grainy olive odd lot from 2006. Very close cousin to Commando until used.  Users = Keep your rods well labeled." – Starleen Colon
  • Special thanks to Genea Crivello-Knable and Elasia for providing the photos in this section.

"I made a bead in every green shade of CiM I own, and also in similar Effetre shades." See more comparison beads including etched versions at Lush Blogs.

"Olive with a SIS stringer – heavy on the silver and Raku dots.  I like the Olive color.  It does, however tend to leave a darker line where each of the wraps were laid down."
– Leslie Anne Bitgood
"CiM Olive is a gorgeous opaque shade which has a nice, medium density and a lovely saturation. There aren't any colors I can think of in other glass lines that compare to this color - it's got less yellow in it than the Lauscha version of Olive, and slightly more than ASK's old Mediterranean Olive."

"Olive and Commando are two greens that have been missing from the lampworking palette and in my opinion are great additions. There have never been greens like these produced in Italy that have been available to beadmakers." Read more at the Frantz Art Glass blog.
