Hmmm.......I have a clever idea, but I need some poppy red for it......and I have to admit, I have no idea which boro does something fancy and which doesn't......anybody got any clever idea? Otherwise, I'll have to make it in soft glass again, like the rose.....eeeeeek!

Poppy red under clear, or just poppy red? Under clear I'd say you need something like Elvis over white or over a red crayon.
Just on its own, GA do crayon red, Northstar do one too and I can't remember what they call it. I'm fairly sure there is a Momka one too. If you want to try a bit, let me know - opaque red isn't something I use a lot so could easily spare a bit.
Elvis is a lovely, lovely red but transparent. Your problem may be that boro opaque reds can be a bit boily, so be extra careful when using them.

Emma, I want to live inside your brain  ;D It was opaque I was after, I'm not sure I'd get enough heat to boil it, lol! Must connect that 3rd oxy! Will have a nosy at those colours :)

No, believe me, that is the very last place you want to live  ;D ;D ;D

I am serious though - if you want to try some, please (please!) take a bit of mine because I very rarely touch it.  :)
