The Allure of Peach Pink Glass Beads: A Touch of Romance

In the world of glass bead-making, the fusion of color and transparency creates more than just jewelry components; it crafts a narrative. 

This Peach Pink romance-inspired set of glass beads is a testament to this artistry. 

Imagine the delicate dance of Val Cox Pink Lipstick glass frit over a base of Italian Effetre peach rose transparent glass. 

Each bead is a canvas where bursts of pinks unfold in patterns, evoking a muted romantic aura that's both timeless and contemporary.

The process of creating these beads is as fascinating as the beads themselves. 

The Val Cox Pink Lipstick glass frit blend is known for its warm pink hues that only reveal their true peach-pink splendor after heating. 

This transformative quality ensures that each bead is unique, carrying within it the secrets of its creation.

Reach out to Jean or Jennifer at Nortel to add some of these glasses

Wave, Currents and Twists in an Ocean Inspired Bead Set

I created this set of glass beads with Glass Diversions Indian Ocean glass frit twisted over a base of Italian Effetre white glass.

Bursts of blues and greens transparent and opaque glasses create an ocean inspired bead set. 

This is such a simple design that focusses on the true beauty of this glass frit blend from Glass Diversions. 

It has become a favourite of mine!

Parisian French Tarragon Glass Frit Cubes

With the current Olympics in Paris, I spent some time at my torch trying out some new glass frit and creating some hand shaped beads. 

I think this set turned out very Parisian with an earthy fresh feel.

CiM - Creation Is Messy's Limelight is a light fresh green transparent glass on which I sprinkled Glass Diversions French Tarragon glass frit. 

This blend is a smaller frit grind consisting of olive green, light blue and lime green glasses.

I hand-shaped each bead into a cube shape and I was so happy when these emerged from the kiln the following morning. 

These would be lovely in a bracelet design. 

The pale green crystals complete the set for a stunning finish.

Aladdin Magical Penny Candy Tiles

Today's post highlights a set of glass frit beads with multi-coloured patterns that reminds me of tiles of penny candy.

CiM - Creation Is Messy's Desert Pink Unique #1 was sprinkled with Glass Diversions frit named Aladdin.

This blend is a magical blend of bright, cheery colors!

Glass frit is a wonderful addition to a bead maker's tool and supply box as it allows beads to be created in unique combinations of colors using mixes of crushed glass blended by hand.

Although the CiM website states that this pink pastel glass is sold out, Nortel Glass in Toronto is my glass supplier in Canada with quick shipping and many colors in stock and ready to ship to you.

New Glass Frits in my Studio - So Excited to Create!

Recently I was able to restock me collection of glass frit. I have been a fan of Glass Diversions frit for many years and was down to the last couple of teaspoons in my stash.

As I am located on the East Coast of Canada, it was most convenient to place my order through Glass Diversions Etsy shop as the purchase included all shipping and fees/taxes etc.

Over the next few posts, I will share my initial sets testing out each of the frit that I purchased. I encourage you to check out Julie’s site as there are many beautiful blends. It was a daunting task to narrow down to the 14 frit blends that I finalized for my order.

This set of handmade lampwork round beads was created on a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy glass named Lumen, an ethereal white moonstone.

Each bead was sprinkled with Glass Diversions Northern Lights glass frit. 

This frit has lots of depth with gorgeous shades of plum, lilac and golds.
