Our newest frit, the "Dynamic Duo"! This is a really differrent kind of 104 coe frit concept; it's a striker, reducer and a reactor, and it's not one, but TWO frits intended to be used together! The "Dynamic Duo" is only found here, and is sold in packs of two; one is the main color (which arrives to you as a green glass) that strikes to a burgundy red, and the second is the "reactor" (which is a clear glass) that when melted on top of the striker, reacts with crazy color combinations and patterns. Reaction colors range from mint greens, turquoises, purples and buff yellows. YOU control the intensity AND design. All you have to do is first melt on the "striker" to your bead base, then melt on the "reactor" frit over top, and it changes almost immediately. It's MAGIC! Experiment with different amounts of each to get "your" look.
Frit combo packs come in two grades and in half ounce packs for a total of one ounce together. Choose between fine "striker" frit with powder "reactor" frit, or coarse "striker" frit with fine "reactor" frit.
Working tips: As you work the frits, more heat brings out more of the reaction, so use the "reactor" sparingly at first. Also the more you layer the "reactor" frit over the "striker" frit, the lighter the color becomes and changes it from dark burgundy to a myriad of colors. Exposing these to a quick reduction flame before annealing can bring out more intense colors. Prolonged exposure of the reduction flame can yeild some very interesting effects as well, such as copper colored haloing and metallic accents around the frit particles. Try it over other silver glasses for more reactions! Anneal with your normal annealing schedule for this glass.
Top example features our "coarse" frit over Opal Yellow and Double Helix Aurae stringer. Center image shows our coarse/fine combination over CiM Stone Ground, bottom image shows our fine/powder combination over Vetrofond Pale Pesto #820.
Here you can purchase other grades, or get just a little more of what you need to experiment with your "Dynamic Duo" combinations. Sold in half ounce baggies.
A gorgeous custom hand blended JetAge Studio frit and is only available here! This neat, super silver rich frit is perfect for surface adornment, and creates translucent turquoises and blues when strongly reduced, and also produces incredible "oil slick" shine (and silver halos over clear)!
After applying the frit and melting in as desired, turn up your reduction flame to create a strong reducing environment (we like to use a flame with at least 2" yellow candles).
It responds best when "bathed" in the reduction flame instead of "bounced", although you'll need to experiment to find what works best for the effects you wish to achieve. You'll also need to experiment with how far up the flame you need to place your glass to get the strongest effect, as every torching environment is unique. Oil slick interference colors should work up easily in this reduction flame, and will go through a whole spectrum of colors from golden yellow to violet-magenta with repeated exposure and cooling cycles. As with most reducing silver glasses, if you reintroduce the glass into a neutral flame, you will erase the sheen, but it can easily be obtained again. This frit can also produce opaque coppery-red colors if over reduced, creating yet another interesting effect! Other notes we've discovered is the frit can be prone to bubbling if heated too quickly, but it can also produce interesting organic texture, as seen on the top image. Once your bead has achieved the desired effect, remove from the flame and anneal as usual (we usually anneal our beads at 960 F for 40 minutes). 
Frit is offered in 15 gram packets with no limit on quantity, and is a combination of medium to coarse mesh particles to maximize the random shapes produced. Now available in Fine mesh!
Our gorgeous custom hand blended 104 coe "Taji Opal" frit is a one-of-a-kind, super silver rich blend. It is hand blended to produce beautiful, watery, opal-like effects that shine and shimmer (see the bead examples). This special frit is made of 104 coe reactive glass with a few extra ingredients thrown in. Each frit particle is coated with our special precious metal powder which makes it a first of it's kind. You can get different effects depending on how you work it, and our free tutorial will teach you how to get the most out of this exciting frit. It's easy!
Our "fine" frit blend (example top) is great for experimenting with finer detail and different effects,and our coarse blend (shown below right) consist mainly of larger pieces for maximum effect.This blend is great because it creates random sizes of larger and smaller "opals" so you'll get a lot of different sizes to play with. Sizes range from approx. 4mm wide and smaller. We also offer the blend in an uncoated powder form (below left) that is simply gorgeous reduced and encased.
Use common-sense safety practices when using this, and all glass products. Because this frit, like most frit products, contain glass dust and powder, and because our frit can produce great silver fumed effects, it's important to have good ventilation while working with it.

This custom hand blended frit is super silver rich, just like "Taji Opal" blend, and each frit particle is coated with our special precious metal powder which makes it a unique, one-of-a-kind frit.
