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.

CiM - Creation Is Messy 2022 Color - Pizzazz Ltd Run

Pizzazz Ltd Run is a misty opal purple that is bright and cheerful in CiM’s 2022 offerings of limited runs.

I experimented with Pizzazz two ways in my work with this new glass color.

First up, it is paired with  Glass Diversions Kismet frit.

These round beads have a simple sprinkling of the glass frit gently melted into the surface.  You will notice that all but the one bead at the end used Pizzazz over a white core of CiM Peace. The neutral core seemed to show a brighter hue to the purple glass, otherwise it was darker than I would have as the solid base.

I also tested Pizzazz with the addition of silver foil under the Kismet frit.  

In areas where the frit was absent, Pizzazz did emit a brownish hue as a reaction to the silver foil.

The spacer beads shows the pure color of Pizzazz.
