Ocean Mist Frit Blend, 2 oz, 96 COE Frit Blend
Transform your glasswork with Ocean Mist, a soft, coastal-inspired frit blend featuring a balanced mix of cool blues, sea glass greens, gentle purples, and airy whites. Thoughtfully composed, this blend creates a calm, fluid palette that softens and shifts beautifully in the flame.
Ocean Mist was named for the way its colors blend and diffuse as it melts, like layers of ocean water drifting through a light coastal haze. Cool blues and teals form the foundation, while soft lavender and subtle blush tones move quietly beneath the surface, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere without overwhelming the palette.
When melted, the colors flow together to produce everything from smooth, watercolor-like blends to softly defined, organic patterns. Depending on your technique, Ocean Mist can appear misty and diffused or gently layered, always maintaining a cool, tranquil feel reminiscent of ocean currents and sea foam.
Subtle reactive qualities may emerge during the melting process, adding natural variation and depth within the glass. These gentle shifts enhance the sense of movement, 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.
