I have made quite a few cinny pewters over the years and every clutch is exciting because of the variability. I have hatched stone washed pewters, high blushed pewters, high contrast pewters, jungle patterns, stripes, high whites even two pewters with yellow splashes. Between the cinny and black pastel version of the pewter, you cannot go wrong with either as there are good and bad examples of both. Just choose something you like to work with.
