The Glass Diversion Valentine Frit was a lovely blend. It is mostly opaque blend and reacted nicely on many opaque bases. The blend has a range of pink colors that looked especially nice on Opal and New Violet. 

Using clear did not work well because the color wasn’t dense enough, but I did not try it again with more frit to see if the color intensifies. The blend looked good on white, opal yellow, and periwinkle.

I especially liked the reaction on New Violet, Dark Turquoise, and Cherry Shake? Silver Pink had an interesting reaction. These beads actually remind me of those M&M speckled chocolate eggs you get around Easter.

When the frit is encased, you end with a nice shade of pink. This color reminds me a bit of Paris or Charlotte CIM glass colors. It is a nice color of pink.

This is the same set of frit over additional darker base colors. I went with darker blues, purples, turquoise, and green colors. This frit looks nice over any base color.

This firt is a very fine size, maybe size #0, and so it goes on evenly and does not add a lot to the finished size. There are more reactions over some colors than others with a variety of shades of pink.
