Boro doesn't acid etch, at least not with standard etching solutions.

Default Something from me

Not the best petal arrangement but I'm really thrilled with how the color came out. Paramore Peach rolled in Momka Exotic Grapefruit frit and then pulled to a stringer.



Nice sculptural rose, untamedrose!!

Still playing with frits and sets.

Here is a set I made using Momka's Orchard Plum and my My Valentine frit blend.

Very Very Yummy Laura. Is Orchard Plum a new or old color? Or did I just miss picking this one up.

Orchard Plum is one of Momka's multi rods and I think is somewhat new ... maybe a year or two old. What I have found is it likes it really, really hot and long ... like the AP family and it is a fab base for my red blend.

Thanks Laura. Love seeing your frit results! Next order of Momka I'll be looking for the Orchard Plum, and in the mean time ordering some of your frit blends.

Thanks ... I'm on heavy ot at work at the moment and was afraid I wouldn't be able to provide proper customer service so I'm waiting to list my blends I have ready until Saturday, Sept 1st.

I'll post in the auctions, promotions thread when I have them up!!

I'll even toss in some Orchard Plum frit for free if you are interested. I made a small amount just for me ... but it seems to play nicer in rod form.

I haven't been making much lately, but this was a custom ordered backscratcher I did, hence the quickie shot. It's about 20" long and the hand glows in the dark.
