Boro frit..what do you like?
So I've got a few colors including clear which I like. A few of what I have seem wishy-washy..like the lavender.
What boro frits do you like working with the most?
How do you use them?
C'mon, help a newbie out. please....

I have some Red Exotic that one time I was making a candle holder and the stuff self fumed inside the glass, spraying red color all over it next to each piece of frit. It was pretty fantastic. I have no idea what I did right to make it happen though.

Yellow is a great all around frit for a nice effect.
Also Silver Strike 3 and Silver Strike 5 are yummy
when you use them with darker colors!

I'm pretty new to boro myself, but so far I love my Blue Moon and Mystery Adventurine. Irrid is pretty too.

Double amber purple, cobalt5, blue moon, any of the amazons, any of the exotics, any of the amberpurple series i.e light blue ap,dark blue ap, green ap look through the charts that the companies have and find the ones that are striking and the ones that have high silver saturation and you won't be disappointed

The Venerable Bead http://www.thevenerable-bead.com/cat...hp?category=10 has boro frit blends. I have Amber Mist and Nessie's Dowry and like both of them much better than a single color frit.
