Bordello Frit

Aren't these great fall colors?

The beads looked nothing like this when they went in the kiln. No bright yellows. No bright oranges. The bordello frit is a muddy brownish red, but turns bright red or maroon when struck (cooled then re-heated in the flame).

They appeared to be light amber dots to a medium brown. I was thinking these would be named Beach Pebbles, but I was surprised with these beautiful fall colors when I opened the kiln.

These are now in my Etsy shop here.
