A little fussy, but worth the effort. This is a purple like no other for its amazing color range. Work it pretty cool and avoid prolonged and sustained heat. It's prone to devitrification and once that white, chalky effect occurs there is little you can do to correct it.

Once you get your technique, this opaque shines stunningly in shades ranging from fuchsia to deep blue violet. When combined with silver foil, the silver can appear gold and the colors can intensify.
