Rainforest


Left to right, Effetre opal yellow and Effetre cool green, dipped in frit.
If the frit is placed in patches rather than rolled evenly, it will spread out from a dense centre to the parts with no colour. It's an effect I like.

An exotic blend of opaque and transparent frits in vibrant colours.

Sweet Peas



Clockwise from top, opal white 96 COE glass, rolled twice in frit, Effetre white dipped in frit, and Effetre cool green rolled in frit.

An opaque blend of pastel colours.
