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.

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)

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".

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:

That is a fab bracelet!
Raspberry sorbet from me, over various Reichenbach bases (posted in newbie S&T if want to know what they are  ;) )

** click for a closer look**

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!

Ivory bead is having Autumn Leaves in it, black Jungle Raku, the next black Autumn Leaves and the last one American Denim, if I remenber the names correct. The lizards seems to like them...
