Texas in Bloom Frit Blend, 2 oz, 96 COE

Capture the beauty of Texas wildflower season with Texas in Bloom Frit Blend, a 96 COE signature in-house artisan mix inspired by colorful spring meadows, blooming roadside flowers, open skies, and the vibrant energy of the Texas countryside.

This cheerful blend combines bold floral tones, fresh spring hues, soft pastel accents, and creamy highlights with naturally reactive behavior that develops beautiful movement and variation in the flame. As the colors melt, they spread, soften, swirl, and blend together to create finished work filled with watercolor transitions, floral mosaics, painterly ribbons, and garden-inspired depth.

Designed for 96 COE glass systems, Texas in Bloom performs beautifully for lampworking, fusing, glass blowing, and surface decoration techniques. The blend reveals multiple personalities depending on how it is worked. Mosaic applications showcase colorful, floral-inspired accents that remain distinct and playful, creating lively wildflower field effects. Swirl techniques encourage the colors to merge into flowing ribbons and soft watercolor transitions reminiscent of spring gardens in full bloom. Encasing enhances luminosity while magnifying depth, layered color transitions, and the blend's painterly quality. Compatible with 104 COE when used in small quantities (5–10%). As always, we recommend testing on a smaller project before committing to a larger project.

Unlike blends inspired by a single flower variety, Texas in Bloom celebrates the full spectrum of springtime color. Bright floral accents mingle with softer garden tones to create a palette that feels joyful, fresh, and full of movement. The result is a blend capable of producing everything from delicate floral designs to vibrant statement pieces bursting with seasonal color.

Inspired By

Texas in Bloom was inspired by the explosion of color that arrives across Texas each spring. Wildflowers, flowering gardens, fresh green growth, and bright seasonal blooms transform the landscape into a patchwork of color and movement. This blend captures that joyful abundance, creating glasswork that feels fresh, uplifting, and full of life.

Handcrafted in small batches in the USA by glass artist Stephanie A. White, each jar offers consistent quality while allowing for the natural variation expected of artisan-blended materials. Colors may vary slightly due to lighting, screen settings, application technique, and individual firing conditions.
