Boro Frit Blends Coe 33
One of the things that I have learned over the last four years by spending time on Lampworketc and Wet Canvas is that many soft glass artists want to try Borosilicate glass. Some are intimidated by the learning curve. I have launched a  line of Boro Frit Blends to make that curve less steep. These tested blends offer a recipe for success for those who are just starting out in Boro. For those who have been working in boro they offer something fun and new.  My recipes have been tested by myself and several other lampwork artists. I add new blends every few months so please bookmark this site and check back frequently. I am open to suggestions and I'm always available for questions, comments and advice.  I hope you love these blends as much as I do. I use only the finest Borosilicate glass commercially available. My blends are all made using Northstar Glass. Frit is available in 2 ounce jars and .5 oz sample sizes. Most of my blends are mixed sizes.  Frit is packaged in plastic jars and is measured by weight and not volume.  I have also added to the site what I feel are the best darn frit trays on the market (made by Carlisle Machine Works) so check those out too!!!

Red Gone to Heaven
Oooh this mix is Hot. Made with self striking reds it's an easy mix of fiery reds and surprising pops of purple. Try it over warm colors. This focal bead was made over a base of butterscotch. It was annealed for 1 hour at 1050.  The bead set was made over Solara and encased. It was garaged at 1000 for 2 hours. As of April 2008 this blend has been reformulated to add a new color and the grit is now small.
