 WELCOME TO THE T.A.M. FRIT TEST BEAD - BEADS OF COURAGE CHALLENGE!!!!
Here is the general idea. Look through the frits and select frits that you'd like to try out. If there are frits that you would like to try, just select the BOC Sample when you choose the amount. I'll send you samples of those selected frits, and you make frit test beads with them. Anything that shows off the frit color. I've been using clear and white base glasses, but you can use whatever you feel works best for the frit being used, or if you want to see what happens with a certain base glass.
If I don't have a particular frit, I'll just holler at you and send you the rest.
Here's the kicker. You must send the beads that you made with the frit back to me. I'll add them to the collection from TAM to go to Beads of Courage. If you'd like to add a business card I'll keep it with your beads.
Beads can be returned to me at

As soon as my little boxes get full enough I send them off to BOC and start a new one, so don't feel like you have to make a deadline. Another taxi will be leaving the station soon!!!
Now, for the artists: if you'd like, I would like to take pictures of your frit test beads to put on the pop-up page for the appropriate frit tested, as well as a link to your web page, etsy shop, 1000 Markets, Artfire, you name it - just give me the links you want. Free publicity!! If you just want your beads sent to BOC, just let me know. That's fine as well.
I'd like to keep this going for as long as we can, so I plan on having monthly prize drawings from among that months participants.
It'sJULY, and time for a new prize to draw for. This month's prize will be 1 ounce each of Screaming Eagle, Loetz Blue-Green/Gold, Iris Gold Kugler and 0.5oz Z99 Purple Rose Special!!!
Remember,each time you order frit samples for the BOC frit challenge, your name gets entered. Kids need beads and lampworkers need frit!!!
June had NO takers. Come on guys, don't let this challenge die! The kiddo's need these beads! |
