Testing A New Glass Frit - Glass Diversions Praline

I am working through all the new glass frits as part of my restock for 2024. 
A new frit to me is Glass Diversions Praline. It is described as an earthy blend has wonderful browns, tan, rust, copper & gold tones.  

I used a neutral CiM - Creation Is Messy's glass named Buttermilk as a base for this set of tile beads. This glass was a creamy opaque ivory with silver content. This glass is showing as SOLD OUT, but CiM's neutral palette has some other options.

I love the color patterns the glass frit created when I twisted each bead surface. 

This is a lovely blend that I am looking forward to trying on other pastel glass bases in future!

Please check out Julie Miller's Glass Diversions website or her Etsy shop to try out her blends as they are truly lovely!

Green Tea and Kismet

This set of  lampwork round beads was created on a base of Italian Effetre glass named Green Tea, a light green pastel glass that I find has an aqua undertone.

Each bead was sprinkled with Glass Diversions Kismet glass frit blend.
This frit is a dramatic and fun blend with a burst of colors including aqua, amethyst, rose & several different greens. 

I created twists in each bead to swirl and enhance the color streams and I am very happy with the end result.

Nortel Glass in Toronto is my Effetre supplier in Canada with quick shipping and most colors in stock and ready to ship to you.

Paisley Tapestry Inspired With An Unique Shape!

Glass Diversions describes their Persian Paisley frit as a fantastic blending of opaque colors with a few light transparent tones that when mixed together they create a complex blend. It contains a misting of sparkling gold and a reactive Iris Orange (Raku).

I have used this blend many years ago and realized that I needed to replenish my glass frit stash on my recent order.

On a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy's Linen, an opaque neutral beige, this frit was sprinkled and each bead shaped into a Zulu shape.

The combination of these glasses created a classic set of beads that remind me of vintage tapestry!

Although CiM Linen is showing as sold out, I invite you to check out CiM's other neutral glasses to pair with this lovely glass frit!
