This assortment mixes classic sports ball motifs in one jar. Basketballs appear in warm amber orange with bold black seam lines. Baseballs are pale gray with red stitching, many framed by a dark green rim. Soccer balls show black pentagon panels on a pale gray green ground, also often ringed in dark green. Footballs read as golden yellow ovals with dark lacing set in a dark ground. Assortment contents may vary from pack to pack.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane; each cane carries its pattern through its entire length, so every slice shows a complete image. To use them, arrange individual slices face up on the surface of a prepared COE96 fused glass piece, such as a pendant, plate, suncatcher, or ornament, and fire them in your kiln so they bond to the base glass.
What sports motifs are included in this jar? The mix suits sports themed fused glass ornaments, dishes, pendants, and wearable jewelry, and the exact contents can vary from pack to pack.
What glass must I use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different coefficients of expansion creates thermal stress during cooling and can cause cracking. Confirm your base glass matches before firing.
How many slices come in a jar? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of ball types and sizes makes it easy to build team themed pieces or scatter several sports across one project.
How do I place and fire murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange slices face up on the surface of your base glass and fire in your kiln. See the Working Notes below for choosing full fuse versus tack fuse.

A full fuse draws the murrini down flat and flush with the surface of your base glass, producing a smooth and integrated look. A tack fuse leaves the slices sitting slightly above the surface with more of their raised, three dimensional character intact. Both approaches work well, and the choice depends on the effect you want.
Always test on a small sample before committing a full project. Firing schedules vary by kiln, glass thickness, and the specific glass in use. Consult your glass manufacturer's guidelines and adjust the schedule to match your own kiln and setup.
