There is a new Fusion Frit! We mixed this batch as a new color earlier this year. Only we made one mistake, didn’t write down the recipe. Oops!

So we have this beautiful new Fusion Frit and it will only be available until supplies last. Then its good bye. So if you like this new color, don’t wait too long. Our unique Fusion Frit is very popular and usually doesn’t stay in stock for very long.

On a side note, our frit making machine has been out of commission for awhile. We purchased a new setup and are back in business. You’ll notice that most of the other Fusion Frits are out of stock. We hope to be refilling our stock as soon as possible.

Check out the new color!

Hope that everyone is having a great weekend and Valentine’s Day!

Instead of me blabbering on for 10 minutes I’ll cut right to the chase. You don’t want to have to scroll through all my words to get to the bead pictures. That’s what your here for anyway right? :)

First off here are the two cats from last night. I hope you all aren’t sick of seeing these yet :) This first one I made for an example of the new Cherry Smash Fusion Frit. He was made with the fine size frit. Love his over sized amber eyes!

This second cat has even bigger eyes! Made with a black base that was overlaid with my ultra cool Borealis shards. I should have struck them more before putting on the details but it still came out with its beautiful blues and greens.

We also have released our second Fusion Frit color called Sea Breeze. If anyone loves to use blue as much as me, your going to love this color!! The two tube focals below were made using the medium size frit that is now available in our store.

OK now don’t laugh but here is my first attempt at a scarab bead. I realize after looking at scarab photos on the Internet that the picture in my head was a bit off :) I’ll know for next time though how it should look. I’ll also leave off the eyes next time as I think they look better in a more abstract way.

And….. here is a sneak preview of a new shard, and a new shard line that is coming! They will be called Super Silvers and this first one is gorgeous! The colors it produces are out of this world. I haven’t named this new shard yet so I’m still mulling that over. Any ideas?

Why are they called Super Silvers you ask? Well these are a mix that is nothing but silver, made by mixing several different silver glasses and then I add even more silver to it in the way of silver foils. So now you can see why they have been labeled as Super Silvers :) We plan on releasing this new shard line soon. I will keep everyone updated as the time gets closer.

Last night I set out to make another Curious Cat bead but as I was making this bead and seeing how it looked. I decided to leave it as it was. Getting this bead to photograph was a major chore. I finally got one that was decent. However it looks so much better in person.

The other bead that we made was using our brand spanking new Cherry Smash Fusion Frit. This was the medium sized frit with the bead being shaped into a cool teardrop shape. I’m really loving this new frit! Looks like flames.

I also just want to remind everyone about the blown vessel that we are giving away. If you haven’t entered yourself in the little contest don’t forget to. Click here to see how it works. If you already have entered you can still continue to vote for my site ;)

I’m not sure if we will be broadcasting or not tonight. It was a very long and tiring day at work today and I am beat! Is it Friday yet!!? If we don’t broadcast I’ll see you all tomorrow night.
