This is called frit. It’s used near the end of the glass-blowing process to add color to glass. I photographed this two weeks ago at an exhibit at Stone Mountain.

That’s a lovely shot. I’ve always been fascinated with the art of glass blowing.

I love watching glass blowing - now that takes talent and patience! I like how you tipped the angle - it adds an interesting element to the overall affect!

I didn’t know that. I love glass art and I’ve seen it blown but I never knew the word for the object used to add color. Check out my post - you’ll see some of the results of using frit

How interesting … and colorful! I have a relative who does glass art and I’m always intrigued to learn more about it. I enjoyed the COLORFUL theme so much this week that I participated twice: once this morning at SacredRuminations and the other at Small Reflections ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
