BLUEBERRY CREAM
This is a gorgeous blueberry flavored frit with hints of an off white mixed in.  Reacts for lots of fun times!

 

From left to right -- these were all smashed with the CBS mini bead squeese:
1) or course, my favorite had to break...it always seems to work like that.  This is Czech Capri blue rolled in the the frit with periwinkle flowers on top.
2) a base of bright acid yellow rolled in frit and slashed and dotted with cobalt stringer.  Kind of wished I would have done this the other way - cobalt base, yellow stringer- but I love the reactions in the cobalt stringer!
3) a light turquoise base rolled in frit and topped with Lauscha olive stringer-- not much reaction in the ivory (more on that below)
4) olive base rolled in frit topped with light turquoise.  I should have left the turq. stringer off of this one.  I got the most gorgeous color reactions in the frit when I made a quickie test with the olive.  I just made a blob and then smashed it with my parallels.  The blueberry color had blues, lavenders and deep purples in it.  You can sort of see that in this bead, but I think the idea is to heat it a bunch and then leave it be.

 

 
These were both made with a special mix of the olive and blueberry cream frit.  The one on the left is copper green and the right one is light cobalt.  You can see both the blueberry and olive in the stringer throughout and I just love the reactions of the deeper base color in both!!
