This week I have been experimenting with Val Cox Oriental Blue frit. These are handmade lampwork glass beads, made by me!

Gorgeous color! I'd love to see it paired with tangerine orange and gold foil, maybe on an opaque cream base.

Loving "Midnight on the Water" and "Chameleon." The color combination for the latter is fantastic!
How large are these beads, approximately? /curious

They are around 10mm measured hole to hole, about 12-13mm in diameter. Thanks for the compliments :)

This style of beads only take me a few minutes for each bead... maybe about 5-6... then they spend about 12 hours in the kiln annealing/cooling.
