I am having SO much fun making beads with this fabulous, and rare, Z-99 glass frit which is no longer in production. It’s vibrant purple, periwinkle and violet colors have me mesmerized!
When it’s gone, it’s gone – so I’m making the most of my time with it while it lasts. 😉
Brand new and available on Etsy now.
This murrini features pretty Spring colors of pale pink with an apple green core. Transparent lavender stripes are alternated with darker fern green stripes which had a tendency to blur and soften in the flame giving them a wispy, watercolor effect.
I have been a busy bee making lots of murrini lately. I really enjoy making the canes – I think it’s the excitement of layering color after color, anticipating the ‘big pull’, and then the final ‘ahhh’ moment when I snip the long cane for the first time to see my miniaturized design inside.
Here is a new murrini design in neutral sheer black and ivory with striking silver glass stripes. Both variations are made from the same formula but offered in a starburst pattern, or twisted swirl (available now on Etsy).
