Each slice shows a barn swallow in flight, its wings swept back in the pointed silhouette that makes the bird recognizable. The wings are rendered in deep cobalt and royal blue against a soft powder-blue ground, a golden-yellow breast runs through the center, and a small reddish-orange accent marks the throat. The motif stays consistent across the pack, giving you a cohesive set of matching swallow images.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Place individual slices face up on the surface of your COE96 fused glass project before firing. They work as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.

Specifications
SKU: 153852 COE: COE96 Pattern/motif: barn swallow in flight, cobalt-blue wings, golden-yellow breast, powder-blue ground, reddish-orange throat accent Sold by the pack; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Working Notes
The firing approach changes the final look. A full fuse brings the slices level with the base glass for a flat, integrated result where the swallow sits flush. A tack fuse stops short of full flow, leaving the slices slightly raised so the bird keeps a rounded, three-dimensional quality.
Because results vary by glass, kiln, and shelf position, fire a small test piece before a full project and match your schedule to your own COE96 glass and kiln.
