Blooming Creativity: Exploring Multicolored Flower Lampwork Beads

This was one of the first times I used multiple flower colors in the same bead, and I can't believe I waited so long to try it! The blend of vibrant flower colors creates a delightful spring vibe that truly uplifts the design. I attempted to add green vines and leaves, which, while not as defined as I hoped, add a subtle touch beneath the flowers, enhancing the overall composition. The bubbles atop each flower add an enchanting detail that captures the light beautifully.

Summer Berry Cider Frit Lampwork Beads

All of these beads were crafted using the Summer Berry Cider frit blend by Glittering Prize. This blend features a combination of pink & purple transparent glass with some pink opaque pieces, adding depth and complexity to the final result. The choice of base color significantly influenced the outcome: when applied over white, pink, and purple bases, the beads radiated a brighter and more lively pink palette. Conversely, when paired with greens, blues, and yellows, the frit blend revealed warm peach and brown tones, creating a rich and earthy aesthetic.

Witnessing the reactions that Reichenbach triggers over the glass is truly astounding, resulting in vivid and captivating colors.
