Persian Paisley Frit by Glass Diversions

These beads are simple to create and are always quite beautiful. These beads are all made with the same frit, Persian Paisley by Glass Diversions, and all the base glass colors are different. Although these beads do end up looking a bit different from each other, they still look like they go together nicely.

In this set, I used periwinkle, white rose, camouflage, new violet, cherry shake, willow, lilac, opaque lilac, misty blue, and sherwood base glass colors in the middle.

You can see how pink is more dominant in some colors compared to others. On periwinkle, it looked more like blues and purples with green-brown accents. You can see more of the fuchsia pink standing out on the lighter color beads. On the green, the pink turns more of a plum-purple color.

Set 2

Here is another set of beads made with the same frit and some different base glass colors. I really like this frit on all the base glass colors, but it especially looks nice on lighter base colors and really pops on pink or lavender backgrounds. I am conflicted about how it looks over dark backgrounds, but it doesn't look bad at all, but the colors pop differently.
