We could do a bulk buy, sure, if there a discount for larger quantities?
I could find the pricing on eBay - 6 or $7 for 2 oz. - but I didn't see anything about it on that page.
I sure would like to try some Magic Mirror, Carribean Coral and Silver Whatever frit.

Isn't that like a chicken/egg paradox?

In the meantime, I guess I could give a couple pictures of what I've made with NS and GA frit...
I can't find my camera battery charger though, so I don't have any super-new pictures.



I use frit for several techniques involving blowing and several other solid techniques involving clear, so frit is critical!!
An exciting frit selection is inspiring, too, so thanks for making this Momka stuff available. The colors with silver are my favorites, and she makes some good ones.

Thanks for the heads-up on this frit, Kay!
I just got some of the Eplanet size 2 frit yesterday in the mail. These are my test beads with them, using Momka's Magic Mirror, Caribbean Coral, and Blue Lightning (in both rod and frit form). The frits are really clean, not full of powder, and I love them!! They are much nicer than commercially available frits--because they are made in small batches by hand. Don't change a thing, Cathy!!

Ok Cathy.

Here is some made with the Purple Haze frit. I think I showed somewhere before but perhaps I didn't say what it was.. And I am loving the effects of this.. the beautiful wisps of iridescent blues

and here is the Charlie Brown base with Purple Haze..

What's high on my wish list for Momka frit is this:

I'd like to be able to buy (hopefully at a slightly discounted rate) a frit "sampler" pack. ALL the Momka's frits - in two sample pack sizes - 2 oz packs and 4 oz packs. What are the chances of that happening? Who do I have to sleep with?

I just read my post and I want to clarify what I meant. What I want (is the boobs of a 16 year old) is to have two choices of Momka's sampler frits.

There would be two sampler box choices -

The SMALL one, containing EVERY color of frit in 2 oz containers

The LARGE one, containing EVERY color of frit in 4 oz containers.

Reason is, I'm more inclined to go with the larger one, but many others will not want to part with that much $$$ and will probably go with the smaller containers.

I would want all the frit to be the largest size available (because it's easy to crush the frit to make it smaller, but NOT so easy to put it back together again - and the larger frit is more user friendly for newbies).

There - that's a list of my demands. I want the sampler packs (and the boobs of a 16 year old) available in the next 72 hours or I will start killing beads. I am a desperate woman.

Wait now... please clarify, do you want your boobs to be like the boos of a 16 year old, or do you want a 16 year old to make her boobs available to you?

Hey - I'm up for a boob-transplant if one (two) becomes available. I'm just afraid that I'll be involved in some horrible hospital mixup and instead of receiving the boobs of a 16 year old, I'll get the dyslexic surgeon, and end up with 61 year old gazongas that resemble tennis balls in gym socks.
Pass -
I'll stick to the wonder bra for now.

Is there anywhere else to buy Momka's frit? I have been stalking eplanet for months and they never seem to have any.
Thanks!
