Just wondered if anyone can reccommend a nice sparkly frit that I can add to clear glass for some christmassy beads, dont mind if its silver, gold or even read just as long as i get a bit of a sparkle with it :)
You could use a blend with goldstone it (you'll just need to encase it before you give it too much heat). Caroline at Beadbug has some

Or you can email Caroline and ask her for a blend.

Another way is to get some dicro, encase and pull stringers.
or try pixie dust for a really good surface sparkle ;)
Thankyou all very much :)) will look at all those options , I love this forums , you get such good advice.
Oh I'd forgotten about pixie dust, makes everything look sparkly including your extract - pretty.
Or use silver foil melted in and then frit on top - avoiding any with pink, red or orange in them.

why?
Because of the way they react with silver, you'll get a sludge colour!
