Sakura Smoke Frit Blend, 2 oz, 96 COE Frit Blend

Transform your glasswork with Sakura Smoke, a soft, atmospheric frit blend featuring a balanced mix of creamy neutrals, cool blues, gentle purples, and subtle blush tones. Thoughtfully composed, this blend creates a calm, cohesive palette that shifts beautifully in the flame.

Sakura Smoke was named for the way the colors move and soften in the flame, like cherry blossom petals drifting through a light haze. The blend carries gentle pinks, cool purples, and airy blues that seem to bloom and fade into one another, creating a soft, atmospheric effect reminiscent of blossoms caught in a quiet spring mist.

When melted, the colors flow and interact to produce everything from soft, watercolor-like blends to more defined, organic patterns. Depending on your technique, Sakura Smoke can appear airy and diffused or slightly more layered and painterly, always maintaining a quiet, natural elegance.

Subtle reactive qualities may emerge during the melting process, introducing gentle depth and variation within the glass. These natural shifts enhance the overall movement of the design, giving each finished bead a unique, one-of-a-kind character.

This blend performs beautifully across multiple styles, including mosaic, swirl, and encased designs, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of techniques.
