Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Dark Grass Green - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556024
Description:
This is a transparent dark grass green Effetre glass rod made for soft glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a solid, round rod that is intended to be melted directly in a torch flame for beadmaking and small-scale flameworked components. A darker transparent green like this is typically used when you want richer color saturation than a light transparent while still keeping depth and light transmission for layering, encasement, and dimensional color builds.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame, then move into a neutral working flame to begin melting and shaping.
- Wind molten glass onto a prepared mandrel for beads, then use marvers and hand tools to refine the profile.
- Pull stringer from the rod for controlled linework, vine patterns, and fine detail that benefits from a transparent dark green tone.
- Apply as a transparent overlay on compatible soft-glass colors to deepen greens without fully obscuring underlying design.
- Use under clear encasement to create depth and a jewel-like green effect in beads and small blown forms.
