Boro Frit Blends Coe 33

One of the things that I have learned over the last two 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 am launching a new line of Boro Frit Blends. 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 will 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. Beginning in January 2007 my blends will all be made using Northstar Glass. Frit is available in 2 ounce jars and .5 oz sample sizes. I am phasing out the 3.5 ounce jar because folks had a tough time committing to that size. Some of my blends are large grit, some small and others 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!!!

Now available in .5 ounce sample size!!!!

Click for Detail	Mojito On a warm summer's night there's nothing more refreshing than a Mojito. Either in a glass with cubes or on a base bead of silver pearl and encased. Yummy I can almost taste the mint leaves. This sample bead was annealed at 1050 for 30 minutes. You will love this blend over any silver tan like butterscotch or caramel or any silver green like silver pearl. It is a mixed size blend so be sure to shake the jar up well before using.
	Size:	.5 ounces $6.00 (6 in stock) 2 ounces $14.00 (6 in stock)

Click for Detail	Borosilicate Angel This blend is mixed size and might be my favorite of my newest blends. It's an angelic bit of neutral color over any base. It's a reactive blend that will respond well to a little flame striking. For some purple hues anneal at 1150 for 30 minutes. Try it over caramel or any of the blues, even any red. This sample bead was over caramel and encased. It was annealed at 1050 for 30 minutes for a more subtle palette.
	Size:	.5 ounces $6.00 (9 in stock) 2 ounces $14.00 (3 in stock)

Click for Detail	Pavlov's Revenge This one will keep you coming back to the torch again and again just like one of Pavlov's dogs. It's a tan and red exotic mix that is not for the faint of heart. This sample bead was made over a base of, believe it or not, Blue Moon! I used a thick coating of frit and encased in clear. It was annealed at 1050 for 30 minutes. It is a mixed size blend so be sure to shake the jar up well before using.
