Corina Envy Green
Has anyone used this color? On the Frantz website it looks more pea green than olive, and I'd rather have an olive color like the Lauscha forest green. I just wanted to know if anyone has used it (and do you have pics?) before I spend $26 on a pound of it. Whatcha think? 
Thanks!
Martha

I got about 1/2 lb of this in a bit ago from Galaxy Glass...I think it's the same thing (although she doesn't use Corina's name, just calls it Envy Green). I haven't used it yet, haven't been in the studio for a few weeks. I can run home and check on it and let you know later....

I used the Corina/Envy/Olive green in this set with red roof tile and ink blue:
Probably not one of the colors that just blows me away, but I like it because I do not have another similar transparent.

I have some too, haven't used it, but in the rod it's almost a cross between Lt. olivine and apple green.

I thought it was a nice olive-y green, rather than a pea green. Here it is in some lentils with sage green decorations:

Wow, I love both of these sets! Especially with the tile red. Here's the link to the Frantz page:

It looks good as an etched bead, doesn't it?
Thanks,
Martha

If I were going to compare Envy with another color, I would say it is VERY close to 020 Effetre Transparent Light Grass Green, but Envy is just a fraction of a hint more topaz.

Thank you!! I forgot to mention how much I love the other two sets posted - I love the color combos in the first set, and the way the green captures the stringer designs in the second. YUM!!
