This is a stunning, handcrafted frit blend curated with a carefully selected color palette that will inspire your creative projects. Designed specifically to complement cool glass tones, this soft frit blend features a harmonious combination of dark blue, bright greens, calming celadon, lavender, and rich purple shades. The goal was to create a versatile and elegant palette that works beautifully on its own or as an accent in intricate lampwork bead designs.

The process of creating this frit involved blending specific glass colors to achieve a subtle yet vibrant mosaic effect. I started with a base of cool, reactive glass colors, allowing the frit to interact and spread in a controlled way, enhancing the visual depth of each bead. As I applied the frit, the slightly reactive nature of the colors caused them to spread and blend softly on top of the base glass, creating a natural, fluid mosaic style that adds both texture and dimension to your finished pieces.violet sea breeze lampwork beads
This blend was carefully crafted to ensure that the colors spread evenly without overpowering each other, resulting in a balanced, harmonious look. The dark blue and purple hues add a touch of mystery, while the bright greens and lavender bring freshness and vibrancy. These beads can be used to create elegant jewelry, captivating focal points, or decorative accents in your lampwork jewelry designs.

This was the palette I used to create this blend. Instead of turquoise, I used Celadon Green instead. 

These beads are created with the same frit, but using only clear. It created a lovely steel blue. Sparkling gold aventurine was added to some beads.
