Dream Fire Glass has a New Product!
COE 90 Frit blends. I finally ordered all the frit I needed from Bullseye to make the frit blends I had in mind. I got to work testing them and working out just the the right mix. I am very please with the results.
I wanted to make sure there were no unpleasant reactions and that the colors worked well together.They have all passed the final tests and are ready for you to buy. The nice thing about using Bullseye frits on Bullseye glass is you can add as much or as little as you like and never worry about a compatibility issue.
I think the Texas spring is affecting the names.

| Real Mountain Laurel in my yard |
Flowers are popping out all over so a few of the frits bear the names of our Texas wild flowers like Evening Primrose a pale delicate pink, Bougainvillea a robust almost in your face hot pink, Texas Mountain Laurel well it looks like the plant in bloom, Late Summer, you know those flowers, the yellow and orange ones that hang on late into summer and Rolling in Clover blend of greens with sparkle.

Here are just a few with more to come. Blends are 2 oz's of yummy color for $4.50-$6.00
The beads to the left of the jars are made with the blends.
The long floral beads have been rolled in the frit
a minimum of 3 times to give them an interesting background. Some of the frit blends are striking colors that show their true colors after they are heated.
