I'm not a pink person - no one who has ever met me would characterize me as a "girly girl" - thank heavens. But I use a lot of pink glass because, well - it sells, and because I enjoy the challenge.And this Pink Lipstick frit is actually pretty no-fuss. You can get your pink fix without killing yourself with this one.
The working notes say:
Blend - Opaque/TransparentThis pair are clear, rolled in frit, and melted in.
... a no fuss blend that pairs perfectly with silver foil to reveal gold tones. Work in a neutral flame on non-reactive base glass such as white or clear.
On the left, white, rolled in clear, and on the right, a gather of clear, dipped in frit and wound.
Another rolled in frit, on CiM Crocus.
And white, rolled in silver foil, melted in, and then rolled in frit.
I enjoyed using this frit - it's very pretty, and I think makes beads which are eminently sale-able. A real no-brainer.
I love the crocus glass from Cim. I was going a little crocus crazy a couple weeks ago - until I went to restock it. I only had one of those small 1/4 lb packs - of course I blew through that in no time. Yikes it's expensive!! I had to restrain myself and buy only another 1/4 lb :-)
