Each round slice shows a small bee: two rounded wing lobes in bright yellow-green spread to either side of a dark, distinctly striped body, centered in a clear glass disc. The clear surround lets the bee appear to float against whatever base glass you place it on, and the striping keeps the motif readable at slice scale. A few pieces come from square-cut cane, so expect the occasional square outline.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. These are COE96 murrini. Place slices on the surface of a prepared fused glass piece and fire them in for detailed accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.

Specifications
SKU: 172284 COE: COE96 Pattern/motif: Bee with yellow-green wings and a dark striped body on a clear ground Sold by the pack; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Working Notes
A full fuse brings the murrini flush with the base glass for a flat, smooth top; a tack fuse keeps them slightly raised, adding texture and depth. Firing depends on your kiln, glass thickness, and the COE96 glass you are using, so fire a small test piece first and adjust to match.
