Tester Kiko reporting here....Don't want to repeat what has been said already.
All the Momka colors are buttery to work with. Almond nugget is a great butterscotchesque color but brighter. Love it. Easy color to work. Cinnibar is a nice color in the rust/dk coral family. It will pit if your not careful. Great to encase with some ns lt yellow and clear. More of the coral pink tones can be achieved when used in surface work unencased. Green envy is a great deep green with lots of metallic blues when encased. Implosions with this color. Here are my quicky pieces. Green envy striped hollow with cinnibar/nugget twistie. Heart with nugget and clear. Cinnibar encased and green envy dots with lens of clear. GTT Cheetah with OG-20. Thanks, Lori

Here are some of my Momka experiments. I am using the Lynx center fire of a GTT delta running propane and tanked oxy.

The first pendant is green envy with drops of clear, a cinnabar tip, and a couple of almond nugget dots on the loop.

The second pendant is a heart made with almond nugget and topped with dots of clear. I took it all the way to clear because I wanted to keep it the original rod color but was unable to keep it from striking into the color seen in the picture.

The third pendant is a heart made from cinnabar with dots of clear. Cinnabar is an interesting color, but it tends to boil in odd places and leave ugly green spots on it.

The fourth pendant is a heart made with a base of almond nugget topped with dots of green nugget and clear.

The fifth pendant is a heart made with a base of almond nugget topped with dots of cinnabar swirled. Cinnabar seems to work ok for me if I keep it for surface embellishment that don't need a lot of heat.

Ok, so my take is as follows. Green Envy is a great color. Almond nugget is ok, but I would prefer it if I could keep it a nice tan color. Cinnabar has great color, but you need to work it quick, and back off on the oxygen.

Hi All -

Gorgeous stuff! It would be nice to see this by the 15th of January. To date, I only have two forms mailed in. Just let me know if you need more time.

Thanks!

Do you have an electronic version of the form that we can fill out and send in? My penmanship leaves a little bit to be desired.....

Ice?

You're in Texas and have ice. I'm in Virginia and it's been in the 60's for a few weeks.

What's wrong with that picture?
