That's it!
I have a little baggie of the fine frit and it looks lighter because of the particle size. So that is why I am thinking that layering would give me more color. I have a lot of plans!
Go to the Uroboros site and check out all the colors they have in frit. OMG! If I could at least get my hands on some sheet glass in those amazing opals, I would cut that into strips for making beads.
