Name this color?

Hi I just bought a bunch of glass from someone a couple of weeks ago and I received some very cool colors that I might not have bought if it wasn't such a good deal. This is a picture of the rod and the finished piece. The first one is on clear the second is imploded, and the third is over yellow. Very saturated color as its a thin encasement quick to melt. The rod wasn't labelled so does anyone recognized this color. Thanks

That looks very similer to a Momka color that I got awhile back, the rod is that same green. Sorry I cannot remember the name of it. I'll look at the label when I get home tonight.

Cosmo 2011-05-16 11:21am

Momka Stormy Weather I believe.

deb tarry 2011-05-16 11:36am

Thanks the rod really surprised me I thought I was working with a green for leaves and then it went all purply on me. Nice surprise though.

ginkgoglass 2011-05-16 11:48am

I second Stormy Weather as the color.

fourpawsglass 2011-05-16 12:51pm

Could also be Momka Violet Medley

squid 2011-05-16 1:02pm

My Stormy Weather is stripier looking on the outside of the rod.

glowinglass 2011-05-16 1:05pm

My Momka Stormy Weather and Violet Medley are both a lot more pale yellow than green and my NS Mystery Aventurine looks and acted just like your results, so that's my guess.....

Three Muses Glass 2011-05-16 1:22pm

I'm going to guess NS Silver Seaweed.

ginkgoglass 2011-05-16 3:50pm

There was a Momka experimental a while back called Phred . . .
It looked like this rod too. It is a darker sage green than the Stormy Weather rod.

deb tarry 2011-05-16 4:06pm

Well it is a dark looking sage green. Does phred give similar colors as stormy weather? I want to know the color because I would like to get some more.

ginkgoglass 2011-05-16 4:28pm

Yes, similar to Stormy Weather. The bad news is it was an experimental color and I don't think it is made anymore.

You might try calling Momka Peeva, she is a very nice lady and may have some in the factory somewhere.

LarryC 2011-05-16 4:34pm

Nice. Kinda looks like an amber/purp variant.

todda 2011-05-16 4:46pm

kinda looks like phred that I have

J.Meader 2011-05-16 9:50pm

The color I have is Momka Stormy Weather.....
Deb, I really like the way you set up that neat little display of with the plain rod, encased, unencased, and imploded.... nice touch. :)

deb tarry 2011-05-17 7:41am

Thanks Meader. So if this is an experimental color how do I get a hold of Momka Peeva, and is this her/his real name.

LarryC 2011-05-17 7:56am

Kinda looks like it could be NS Experimental Mixed Green as well. Check it out in this older thread....

On a more humorous note: I hereby name this color GEORGE!

;)

deb tarry 2011-05-17 8:10am

George I don't get it?
I sent Momka an email found the company on the web and sent her the picture. I know you younger people think nothing of the information we have access to but I think it's amazing to just type in the word into the search engine and there it is.

deb tarry 2011-05-17 8:15am

I went and looked at the link you posted Larry and you could be right it sure looks like experimental mixed green. Wonder if there is any left.

I just got off the phone with Momka wow is she ever nice. She says she has stormy weather still in stock and another color which works very similar. Will have to order some when I get some cash. She also wants some pictures of my stuff to put on their gallery page. In looking at there web site I found out I work with allot of their colors. The yellows that I use in my daffodil implosions are theirs. Cool eh.

deb tarry 2011-05-17 2:57pm

But Chris its a girl color it can't be George. lol

Bunyip 2011-05-17 3:27pm

I've heard of a Boy Named Sue, why not a Girl Named George ;)

Mr. Smiley 2011-05-17 4:02pm

Pretty sure it's Phred... ;)

deb tarry 2011-05-17 5:36pm

Still not a girl name, come on you guys its purply red with deep pink. lol

AmorphousDesigns 2011-05-17 5:46pm

ginkgoglass 2011-05-17 5:55pm

Venessa 2011-05-17 8:31pm
