Vanna Opal Inadvertently Does Some Good

I just knew that if I gave Vanna Opal a few sale squares to clean that of course she'd shrink them like she does to all of my clothes. Hey, another bright idea!
Actually since we came up with the idea of the 6" x  6" Sale Square it's been crazily successful. There are well over 200 colours to choose from- solid opals, cathedrals, streakies, Opalarts, Spirits and the new Fuser's Reserves, from both Spectrum and Uroboros Glass.
Yes, I know, it's all Sys96 Glass, a line that people use primarily for fusing but actually, glass is just glass- any glass can be used for your stained glass projects (it's just the other way around that doesn't work- not all glass can be used for fusing). 
If you want a nice, vibrant solid red opal for example, you will only find it in the fusible racks, and you'll pay over $30/ft for it. But what if you only need a small piece (costing $6-$) that's where these sale squares show their true value.
And yes, it is true- Mikey will ship them anywhere in Canada for a lousy $5, whether you want 12 pc or 200!
