Description:
Tutti Frutti Frit Blend is a mixed-color soft glass frit blend designed for adding quick, lively surface color and visual texture to beads, small blown forms, and fused components. It is made from crushed glass particles blended in a coordinated palette that includes amethyst, green, blue, turquoise hues, with light pink and lemon yellow accents. Frit blends like this are used when you want complex, multi-color results without building the palette one rod at a time. This blend is sold pre-packaged in a 2 oz jar, making it easy to keep at the bench for rolling, sprinkling, or layering into your work.
How it is used:
- Warm your base bead or gather to a tacky, evenly heated surface so the frit will grab without shocking.
- Roll the hot glass lightly in the frit blend or sprinkle frit onto the surface over a tray.
- Reheat gently to seat the particles into the surface, then continue heating until the frit rounds in and smooths to your preferred texture.
- Use a light touch with heat to preserve color separation, or use more heat and marvering to blend and soften transitions.
- For fusing work, sift or place frit onto sheet glass, then fire to your schedule to create mottled, confetti-like color fields and layered effects.
