Question Found this little packet...

on the floor, under a tool box, and who knows how long it has been down there. Apricot Sorbet is written on the packet. So I fired up the torch and made a few beads. The frit looks amber and I'll have to wait for the kiln to cool. Anyone know anything about apricot sorbet?

It's peachy toned more than it is amber. Is it Val Cox's frit?? I used up the last of mine and I don't know what manufacturer or product # it is. I have been meaning to ask Sabrina about that one.

I think it's one from Val. I have some from a long time ago, maybe 4 or 5 years.

I just was looking at her frits and I think it's like her apricot. Who knows how long it's been on the floor. I'm thinking this came from Arrow Springs loooong ago

Definitely Val, I have that one. It's really pretty, but reactive...which can make browns. Over whites and clears georgeous!

I think it's one of Val's mixes, too. Probably old enough that Sabrina doesn't stock it anymore, but she might still have the recipe.
