Assorted Sea Life Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

This jar contains an assortment of COE90 sea life murrini in three motifs: blue dolphins on white grounds, green sea turtles on white grounds framed by a lime green border ring, and orange starfish set on deep red brown grounds. The mix of light and dark grounds gives the assortment natural contrast when the slices are scattered across a piece, and slice sizes vary throughout the jar.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane; each slice shows the motif that runs the length of its cane. Arrange individual slices on the surface of a COE90 fused glass project and fire them in as decorative accents on jewelry pendants, small plates, dishes, suncatchers, ornaments, and other flat fused glass surfaces.

What COE glass do I need to use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different expansion rates introduces stress into the finished piece and can result in cracking during or after the firing cycle.

How many slices are in a jar?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes, counts, and the motif mix vary from jar to jar, which suits scattered, ocean themed compositions.

How do I incorporate these into a fused glass project?
Place individual murrini slices face up on the surface of your COE90 base glass before firing. A full fuse will melt the slices flat and flush into the surrounding glass, producing a smooth surface where the motif sits level with the glass. A tack fuse stops the kiln at a lower peak so the slices bond securely but remain slightly raised, keeping more of their three dimensional edge detail visible.

Working Notes

A full fuse melts the murrini flat and incorporates them flush with the base glass surface, giving a smooth finish where each motif blends into the surrounding glass. A tack fuse holds the peak temperature lower so the slices bond securely but remain raised, preserving more of their textured, dimensional quality. Always fire a small test piece first when working with new murrini or a new glass combination, and keep every component of the piece at the same COE to avoid stress fractures.
