Item Name: Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Medium Grass Green - 5mm - 6mm SKU: 1556022 Description: This is a transparent medium grass green Effetre glass rod made for soft glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a solid, round rod that is designed to be melted directly in a torch flame and worked into beads, small blown components, and sculptural details. A medium transparent green is a practical choice when you want a true green tone with good light transmission, making it especially useful for layered color builds, encasement work, and designs where you want green depth without going as dark as a deep transparent. How it is used: Preheat the rod tip slowly in the outer flame, then move into a neutral working flame to begin melting. Wind molten glass onto a mandrel for beadmaking, then shape with marvers and hand tools to refine the bead profile. Pull stringer from the rod for fine lines, leaf and vine motifs, and controlled striping. Use as a transparent overlay on compatible soft-glass colors to adjust tone and add depth while keeping underlying pattern visible. Encase with clear to create a dimensional, jewel-like green that stays bright and readable in finished beads and small blown forms. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
