Frits?

Apr 28, 2004 59 Replies

I am going to jump on the frits bandwagon with some of my beads... a lot of my designs are very frit-heavy. I mean A LOT.

Just plain old frit melted in and not encased:

OK, I'm sorry, I'm being obnoxious, but I could go on all day. I LOVE the stuff!

LOL - I like frit over silver leaf - that's very pretty. Encased frit is also nice, depending on the color.

They are GORGEOUS. But I still don't like frit much, and it's GOT to be melted in. That bumpy stuff just looks like glass vomit. (IMO) ~~ Sooz

That you do and they're to die for! I've been eye balling a couple of those on your list! I'm trying so hard to be good and not spend everything I make. LOL It's futile, I know.

Frit over silver leaf is probably my favorite... though I love it in so many ways, I can hardly just pick one. :)

Kalera, didn't you have a set up 2 or 3 months ago with frit deeply encased in aqua?

LMAO -- I like raised details on all beads, including barnacles. Except for clear dots!

So that's why we don't have any in my house! LOL

You worded that so lyrically. It's almost poetic.

Haw! Okay...... ~~ Sooz

And the clear dots just appeal to me like crazy. Go figure. (I love different strokes for different folks) ~~ Sooz

Wow...wowwowoowowow.. good lord those are lovely. I think that your beads just go to show that its not the frit but what one does with it. I want to take a whole handful of your beads and just sit in the sun with them letting the light play through them. *reminds me of the Fleetwood Mac tune, Hypnotized* I empathize with everyone who is itching to buy them. How can they possibly choose? Diana

I don't like any kind of raised dots! Scrolls - yes! Flowers- yes! Dots - hell no!

(Shhhhh, she's catching on!)

Could very well be! That would be up my alley... the only one I can reember right now is "Aqua Tortoiseshell", which wasn't actually frit but looked as if it could have been.

Naw, you can just sell more beads (heck, I'll buy some) and then buy some of mine... wait, that doesn't work out... :D

Maybe we should all give up on eating and just trade beads?
