When I first began working with glass (almost two years ago--time flies!) I found that my FIRST love was working with silver foil and FRIT. Frit, basically, is crushed glass that when combined with other glass you get gorgeous colors that make even the simplest of beads comes to life. Silver foil is just that: silver foil. You add it to just about any glass surface and it will turn out the most amazingly gorgeous beads. I'm often asked to design (usually sight-unseen) an Organic bracelet and it's such a joy. No two are EVER the same and you can spend hours looking at them... at least I can. :)
