Default 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.

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.

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
