So there is a wonderful company called Frantz Art Glass that sells lampworking/beadmaking supplies and they have the most unique glass of all places I have seen so far. They get odd lots (basically colors that were made by accident but still have potential) from Vetrofond (one of the major makers of soft glass rods) and they were having a contest to name the colors of the latest 14 new odd lots. I sent in my list... and they actually used one of them! I am amazed... granted it was the one that I thought was the lamest name of all I chose, but it seemed to fit it well. They didn't take oyster (which my husband and I actually nicknamed "lung oyster" and if you see the color you will know why... not one of my favorites) or aortic twist, nor did they like tuscan marble or ripe banana... but they did go for Tomato Soup:
If you want to see the other colors that were named you can go to www.frantznewsletter.com and click on the area where it says: "name the colors contest." Amazing how many variations of orange they can make, tehe.
