Oh heck, I'm rubbish at remembering what I used, but this is Heather on clear:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/3015378246_1f488b0346.jpg)
I put in my two cents in the dutch post too, really hope that you get more order from Holland! :)
I'm still in love with the fritties I bought! Put them in the play trays I bought and love looking at it.
As a sample for myself I made little spacer beads, and made it in to a beaded treasure bracelet. Haven't got names with it, sorry. Can only say it's all the ones with pink/purlpe in it.
(http://gallery.kralalien.nl/albums/bt/rozebt.jpg)
Lovely beads! Here's one of my favourite combos, it's Soft Heather and Raku Riot, on ivory, copper green and purple..
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3170/3094524199_31c12b1cfa.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/53211004@N00/3094524199/)
I asked Sam about a version of Heather without the darker purple, and I love the Soft Heather!
:)
I don't always get the best colours from raku, but I still like the results!

Sorry I'm a bit late posting in this thread. Should be ashamed of myself as I got a lovely play tray as a present from a generous friend, a bit of a cheeky cherub ;)
I'm loving all the ones I've tried so far but my favourite has to be silver dragons candy :D (far left)
(http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/dinah46/Beads%20and%20jewellery/BeadysamFrit.jpg)
I just need some mild weather to try out all the rest ???
Some wonderful beads in here! I now have a lo-o-ong list of frits I must have! I bet Sam's been busy lately with orders!
(http://www.soozjewels.co.uk/beads/locofritbeads.jpg)
These were made with Going Loco and encased in clear.
Martin has stopped stocking Double Helix frits ... any chance of Sam taking up the slack I wonder?
I've not melted the frit all the way in on these discs and the three bigger beads, I love the texture! This is Sam's "Fresh".
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/biggirlsblouseuk/P1040142.jpg)
Absolutely lovely beads in a super bracelet! Good choice of colour for the etched spacers!
I did some playing earlier on in the week and my current Beadysam favourite frit is Deep Seas. I liked the way this one came out ('scuse the encasing bubble) and so a batch I made today are currently cooking in the kiln

This is Summer Riot on cim sangria - the sangria reacts with some of the frit, so has to be encased before frit is added - and then encased again:

I had trouble controlling this frit, it devitrified somewhat. I eventually realised there is something silver / reducing in there, maybe EDP?
I'm going to have to lightly etch them to see if I can get rid!
my fav frit at the moment is faux boro fun,
pulled into a stringer with straw yellow over sangria,
