Default Big Momkas Sale

I see that ABR has Monkas on sale for 40% off this week. So I have a few questions for all of you Monkas lovers - and I know you are out there! What are the 'Must Have' Momkas colors? I do have a little Momkas mostly the multi rods. I know I want Exotic Grapefruit and the Scarlet Pink looks extra yummy! What can you tell me about the Magic Mirror? Is the Silky Satin Blue like Unobtainium? What does Silver Tears and Silver Beach look like? Are they the colors you want for some bling? Thanks!



ETA: I found this thread: http://lampworketc.com/forums/showth...ighlight=tears Plenty of eye candy and info. I think I can get most of my questons answered there. If not I'll be back.

My favorite Momka colors are Stormy Weather, Exotic Grapefruit, Cherry Blossom and Violet Hue. Stormy Weather has gorgeous purple/green colors and Violet Hue is absolutely yummy.

Thanks Angela. Exotic Grapefruit and Violet Hue are both on my list. Aloong with Gypsey Queen, and Scarlet Pink. There are some others I saw in that thread that I think are going on the tlist too. Magic Mirror, Glitter Brown, and Dragon Green. I may have to get 1/4 lbs instead of full pounds and 1/2 pounds because my list is growing!

I like (colors that you can't really get from the other vendors) - brown glitter and yellow pearl. Yellow pearl is fantastic in that you can vary how opalescent it is up to an ivory-ish color. Charles Brown is a good warm medium transparent brown, as well. I prefer Tequila Sunrise (GA to Exotic Citrus) the Exotic Citrus and Grapefruit go opal the way that I work them, and I want them to stay clear.

I haven't used cloud, but it looks great.

Oooh yeah American beauty and all the flambes are *musts*...as is violet medley and purple thunder. I also love blue reflection in implosions. Silver tears is absolutely awesome. Really, all of her silver colors are gorgeous.

OK Ya'll are making this hard on my checkbook!

I do have a whole bunch of the rods that look like they could be flower murrini - I know sunflower and American Beauty are amoung them. I have a bunch of shorts that were unlabled and I have no clue what they are so I'm gonna take a few to the Gathering to see if I can get them ID'd.

ETA: I think I have some of the Dragon Green. If what I have IS dragon green than I already LOVE it!!!!

Don't confuse American beauty with the multicolor rod *Antique* Beauty...they are different colors!
