Momka frit experiments
 
I thought I'd start a thread where fellow Momka frit addicts can share info. I have a few colors I have played with recently. Some were pleasant surprises, some need to be revisited with new base colors. Please feel free to post any pics and/or recipes you have. I'll add more pics/recipes whenever I have new stuff. All of these have one base color, one Momka frit color, large clear frit, and are encased with Simax clear.

Wonderful beads!!!!

alb6094 2012-05-21 6:14pm

Oh MAN! I love the citrus and cherry! I have some clear frit and the northstar sampler on the way, I can't wait. That Momka frit looks 'licious!

Jackson River Glass 2012-05-21 6:36pm

thank you! I def want to go back and try different base colors. My photography is terrible, but the blue flambe was creating some cool effects. Want to go back and experiment more with that one for sure, and the citrus was cooler than I expected. I wish I had gone lighter on the cherry - less would have been better.

MagpieGlass 2012-05-21 7:20pm

Thanks for starting this thread. I have several more to photograph. Had planned to spend the whole day on the torch today (got a day off work) but ended up down and out with fever, chills and bodyaches. Ugggh.

I really like your indepth tests.

Awww I hope you feel better soon!! :love:

MagpieGlass 2012-05-22 6:11am

Thanks Susan. At least the 103.6 fever is at bay. Gonna go torch even though I'm still hurting and beat but hey ... we sit behind the torch ... right. Got another bonus day off work ... we are slow so got a volunatry layoff day.

Here is the photo I promised ... sorry for poor quality ... it is rainy and overcast again ... not the best photo op lighting conditions.



At 11 am is Silver Flambe on clear
1 pm is Purple Thunder on black
3 pm is caramel base with almond nugget and brown glitter frits
6 pm is Silver Flambe on black
7 pm is Cloud frit on black
9 is is Sparkly Thunder on black
Center is Sparkly Thunder on clear

The Sparkly Thunder on Clear is MUCH more colorful that what is shown in this pix!!

MagpieGlass 2012-05-22 6:14am

One more
 
and not a bead this time ... but I've been after the "ultimate" pink for florals.

I found my dream with Momka frit. This is TAG pink cadillac rolled in Momka American Beauty frit and then pulled down to a stringer for the implosion. I love the color it turned out.



That's it for me for now.

Jackson River Glass 2012-05-22 6:23am

Wow Laura, beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!! You're right too, that is the dream pink! Yum! Hope you start feeling better sooooooon.

PennyLane 2012-05-22 7:21am

Susan thank You so very much for starting this thread, and You both (You & Laura) for posting the porn pics (beads that is).

Jackson River Glass 2012-05-22 7:23am

You're welcome, Cathy :)

deb tarry 2012-05-22 7:31am

Love that pink.

Jackson River Glass 2012-05-24 11:36am

anyone else have anything yet? I'm hoping to get out in the studio tomorrow. Final day of school is Wednesday, then I should have an open schedule for torching. Woo hoooooooo! I just have to pretend it isn't 105 degrees and my studio is in the garage... Maybe a bowl of ice water to dip my feet in? :biggrin:

Totally off topic, but I actually do that! I have an old styrofoam cooler that I fill with water and ice and I dip my toes (eventually feet, as the water warms up) as I work. Amazingly enough, it really seems to help with making the high temps bearable.

I think I'll be picking up a styrofoam cooler today!

Beautiful beads everyone! I love Momka glass and frit and have mixed some blends with it (shameless self promo; I sell them in my Hot Flash Frit shop on Etsy). I use Momka, NS and GA in the blends (thanks to Cathy at eplanet for offering Momka frit!).

These are my two favorite blends, Invictus and Celtic Spring:
Invictus


Celtic Spring

Gorgeous beads, love the frit blends!!!

MagpieGlass 2012-05-28 10:41am

Yeah Angela. Beautiful beads ... and you added goodies to your shop. I come and peak every now and then to see what you have new in the way of blends!!

framerak 2012-05-28 10:51am

Thanks Susan and Laura! Laura, I haven't been torching much in the past 6 months or so and I let both my Etsy shops slide. Back at it now and hoping to get some new blends listed as soon as I have some torch and photo time (training for my first full marathon - yikes! - and it's taking all my play time!).

framerak 2012-05-29 8:35pm

I got a bit of torch time last night and mixed a new blend. "Hippie Chick" has Momka Purple Thunder in it, along with some Northstar colors. The first pic is Hippie Chick over a base of Amber Purple. The second pic is Hippie Chick rolled over a rod of GA Amazon Bronze, melted in and pulled down, then wound on the mandrel. Both sets of beads were encased in Simax clear.
I really like how the purple and blue colors turned out on the 2nd set of beads. I'd heard that Amazon Bronze could produce deep purples but I'd never experienced it before. Happy surprise!


Jackson River Glass 2012-05-30 6:44am

Wow, those are awesome! Gorgeous purples!!!

Have enjoyed looking at all the beads but have to say I got the BEST giggle (in the nicest way:-o) out of the time ref for showing your beads ..am/pm have no bearing on the use of clock ref for direction to look it is just where the clock hands are so pilots can know where to look out the window for traffic....just sayin:razz::hide:...carry on

Jackson River Glass 2012-05-31 2:54pm

chrisann 2012-05-31 3:42pm
