I am a very happy customer of Glass Diversions. Their frits are gorgeous and they ship fast. I also enjoy frits from That Frit Girl, Arrow Springs, and Val Cox....In fact, I never met a frit I didn't like!
You can hardly go wrong with frit: lots of bang for just a little money

lol I've never met one I didn't like, either!
For Glass Diversions, if you are considering getting a few, then you might want to check out their large sampler. 12 frits for the price of 8 and they are larger jars as well. I missed out on almost 3/4 lbs of frit by ordering individually and I'm still kicking myself! I think their prices are some of the best, then Arrow Springs. I have Arabian nights and Mermaid Cove, I will say the green shows up more than I thought for the Mermaid, but they are both beautiful!

If you can swing the money, I agree with the suggestion of getting the large sampler. I really haven't met a Glass Diversions frit I don't like, just my choice of base color for that frit. She has a wonderful eye for creating blends. I appreciate sample photos that show the frit melted. Hate when sellers only show the frit blend, because the blend might be beautiful but melted look terrible.
If you are new to frit and haven't played with Raku, do add some to your order. The different sizes will yield different results.
Some favorites: Rose Bouquet, Robin's Egg, Daisy Blooms, Don't it make your Brown Eyes Blue, Dynasty Marble, French Tarragon, Glazed Ginger, Grasshopper, Hawaiian Sunset, Savannah
Nice frit rack!

I have found such a love for Frits now that I am beginning to learn how to use them. I have some sampler Frits and I want to expand my blend collections.

All the frits do well if you find their quality. Some do well alone & others work well with other glass & silver. It's best to look at the colors & try to figure out what glass was used in the frit. Then you can use them to their best ability.
