Blue Dragonfly Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

Each patterned slice in this jar shows a dragonfly viewed from above: wings spread wide in cobalt to royal blue, a narrow black body running down the center, and a clear, transparent field behind the whole motif. Because the background is clear, the dragonfly appears to float against whatever base glass you set the slice on. A few edge on pieces in the mix show as blue and black striped segments.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and every patterned slice carries the same image on its face. Rated COE90, they are placed on the surface of a fused glass project and fired in, adding color and motif to jewelry, plates, suncatchers, dishes, and ornaments.

What does the dragonfly pattern look like?
A top down dragonfly with symmetrical cobalt blue wings and a crisp, narrow black body, surrounded by clear glass. The open clear field makes this one of the most versatile motifs for layering over colored backgrounds.

What glass do I need to fuse these with?
These murrini are COE90. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing coefficients of expansion builds stress into the piece and can cause cracking during or after firing.

How many slices come in a pack?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of smaller and larger slices gives you fine detail accents and focal pieces from the same jar.

How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices pattern side up on the surface of your base glass, then fire. They are surface accents, not a base layer, so a single dragonfly can anchor a composition as a focal point or repeat as scattered detail across pendants, earrings, small bowls, suncatchers, and ornaments.

Working Notes

A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated surface. A tack fuse stops at a lower peak, leaving the slices slightly raised with more defined edges and a subtle dimensional profile. Choose based on the finish you want for the piece.

Fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Kiln behavior, glass thickness, and layout all shift results, so let your own test confirm the schedule for your COE90 glass.
