Lampwork Colors
Purple & Pink Swirl Frit Beads
A customer was looking for some magenta beads which turns out looks more like Double Helix Euros. So I will give it another go this weekend and see if I can create similar beads in the right color. Making all these beads side by side was great for me to see the different shades side-by-side.
Heather Frit Lampwork Beads
The Heather Frit from Glass Diversions is a beautiful frit that looks good on almost any base. The frit colors are purple, gray, lilac, and white. It even creates nice lavender-blue or gray swirls within clear glass. The frit itself was very reactive and you could see nice color separation and beautiful lines on many of the beads.
Purple Cloud Lampwork Bead Set
Is this set pretty or what? I just love these colors together. They also photographed beautifully.
This set is made with Songbird frit over periwinkle, dark purple, and lavender blue etched to a soft matte finish. I tried to recreate this set and it took me several sessions to figure out which color I used for the light purple. Although this set would look pretty with pink matte beads too I think.
Organic Lampwork Focal Beads
This bead turned out beautifully. I just love all the reactions that happened in the ivory in this bead. This was one of those wonderful mornings like Christmas when you get pleasantly surprised when you see the bead for the first time.
