A very deep blue shade with a sparkling sheen. Aventurine is a supersaturated chrome glass with metal flake glints in reflected light. If you like Aventurine Green you'll love this.
Please note that due to the density of this glass it appears quite opal rather than transparent.
Bullseye frit is made from crushed, screened and magnetically cleaned Bullseye Compatible sheet glass. Available in a huge variety of colours, frit gives the opportunity to add a unique element to your glass work. Frits are extremely versatile and can be used in kilnforming, including glass sketch and painting with light techniques, as well as in torch working and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces. Also available in a Fine, Medium or Coarse form.
Cold characteristics:
Powder frits usually appear much lighter than their fired colour, even when the glass is not a striker. Please see the bottom half of the sheet glass image below for a better idea of the fired colour.
Working Notes:
Stable, no colour shift. Softens more than most glasses at fusing temperature. Does not transmit light in the 3mm sheet.
