Each slice in this bag shows a small owl face in shades of blue, with two round golden yellow eyes that stand out clearly against the blue ground. The eyes are the anchor of the motif; the surrounding face detail is subtle and tonal, so the owls read as soft, stylized characters rather than sharp line drawings.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Place individual slices face up on the surface of your fused glass project and fire them in as decorative accents. They work well on pendants, plates, suncatchers, ornaments, and small dishes.
What does the pattern on these murrini show? The same blue owl face appears on every slice, and the golden yellow eyes hold their punch even after firing and at the small scale typical of murrini work.
What COE glass do I need to use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different coefficients of expansion causes stress and cracking, so verify that your base glass and all other project materials match before firing.
How many slices come in a bag? Sold as a bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of sizes lets you pair larger focal owls with smaller companions in one design.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices pattern side up on the surface of your base glass, then kiln fire according to your project requirements. See the Working Notes for how a full fuse and a tack fuse change the finish.

How far you take the firing temperature shapes the final look. A full fuse brings each slice level with the surrounding glass surface, embedding the owl face flush and smooth. A tack fuse stops at a lower temperature and leaves each slice raised, preserving a slight dome and a sense of depth. The right choice depends on the look you want and the behavior of your specific glass and kiln.
Fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Kilns vary and glass thickness affects heat distribution, so a short test lets you confirm the result without risking finished work.
