These stunning beads were crafted using the exquisite Peaceful Pond frit blend by Glass Diversions. These captivating colors showcase their beauty both on the surface of the bead and within the glass itself. When applied to the surface, the beads burst with vibrant hues of pinks, purples, yellows, and greens, creating a kaleidoscope of colors. Each base color harmonizes effortlessly with this versatile frit blend, making it a hassle-free choice for any project.

Base colors used:

  • Clear
  • Green Nile
  • White
  • Light Turquoise
  • Bubblegum Pink
  • Violet New
  • Green Tea
  • Sky Blue
  • Periwinkle

In these beads, I used clear, Green Nile, and White for the base colors. The clear makes the beads have a bit of a peach tone where the white brings out the vibrant pinks. The green showcases the purples, but makes the pink look more coral.

 In these beads, I used Light Turquoise, Bubblegum Pink, and Violet New. Light turquoise makes the purples and greens pop. The pink really brings out the peachy colors. Violet New is one of my go to colors since it is so reactive. You can see the dark purple lines it created with its reaction to the frit.

In these beads, I used Green Tea, Sky Blue, and Periwinkle for base colors. The green tea makes the pinks look almost red and pink with blues and green accents. This color looks very nice over the Sky Blue. Periwinkle seems to soften things up bit.

If this frit is used within the glass, you end up with a lovely shade of pink with hints of yellow in some beads. It has a pretty sunrise look to the swirls. A few beads had a hint of blue, but the pinks and yellow dominated the colors. Some beads highlighted the fuchsia pink colors.

This frit blend truly exceeds expectations with its remarkable vibrancy in these beautiful lampwork beads. Despite its unassuming appearance, it bursts into stunning hues when applied over various base glass colors. Even when encased, the colors undergo captivating transformations, yet maintain a beautifully delicate shade of pink.
