Regal Tanzanite Glow Frit Lampwork Beads

There’s something almost magical about the depth and richness of purple glass — especially when it's infused with movement, light, and unexpected warmth. Our newest set of lampwork beads, tentatively titled "Tanzanite Glow," captures that energy beautifully with a custom in-house blend of violet-blue and bold pink tones.

Lilac Bloom Frit Lampwork Beads

Working with glass is always a balance of chemistry, heat, and creative intuition — and few things are more satisfying than watching a custom frit blend come to life in the flame. These two new sets of lampwork beads feature our in-house blend of purples, and while the color recipe is the same, the results are wonderfully different depending on the technique and base glass used.

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.

Purple & Pink Swirl Frit Beads

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

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

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.
