Rainbow Shimmer Lampwork Beads

Rainbow Shimmer Lampwork Beads

These beads were a delightful surprise, and I’m thrilled with how the lampwork pieces turned out! I experimented with a frit blend I love but had struggled to make it truly shine. The transparent colors are so rich that they work best when layered over opaque shades that complement a variety of hues. When I added white, the rainbow colors really came to life, and introducing gold aventurine made them even more breathtaking.

Sunset Colors in Lampwork Beads

Last week, I received an order for a set of beads. As I sat down to make these beads, I realized there were no notes of what was used to make this color of beads. I was pretty sure it was from some frit straight out of the package. Lately, I have been trying to use up some of my stash. So, I ended up going through many colors to try to figure out what color was used.

However, many lampworkers have noticed a significant increase in the cost of pink glass in recent years, leading some suppliers to discontinue its availability. So why is pink glass so expensive, and what factors contribute to its rising price?
