Diary of a Demented Store Owner

With the development of the Baroque line of glass from Spectrum, comes another line of deeply swirled and sharply delineated glass that is fusible (but also suitable for stained glass) known as Opalart. 
We carry every colour they make of which there are seven standards and always available. In addition, there is always the possibility of experimentation and hence we get their 'Fusers Reserve' line, made up of some stunning hits (and sometimes misses). Many done in the style of an Opart/Baroque. One of our biggest hits can be seen in this dish below-



We now have what Vanna Opal thinks is another hit. Picture Aventurine Blue and Opal White swirling across a Peacock Green base in this dynamite new Fusers' Reserve mix. The colours are beautiful together and, after fusing, the glass subtly glistens -- sometimes even in areas where the Aventurine is no longer visible but has magically dispersed its flecks among the other glasses.
