Lampwork Colour Guide -> Frit Blends -> Val Cox African Violet

This frit (sold by Val Cox) is a “very rich violet leans slightly toward blue-violet. It is concentrated so start with a little and add gradually. Too much and it will become too dark. Works nicely with silver but purple (and violet) frits turn green (rim) in direct contact with silver. It’s a pretty effect, but it may not be what you have in mind, so test first.”
