Each slice in this bag shows a small owl face looking straight out at you. The rounded portrait is rendered in warm tan and brown with two small dark eyes, set against a white ground that gives every slice a clean, bright rim. The brown shading varies naturally from light tan to a deeper cocoa from slice to slice, which lends the owls a rustic, hand-drawn character rather than a printed uniformity.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. To use them, place individual slices face-up on the surface of your COE90 base glass, arrange them as accents where you want them, and fire them in your kiln so they fuse into the piece.
What does the pattern on these murrini show?
Each slice shows a small owl face in warm tan and brown with two dark eyes, on a white background. The image is compact and reads clearly at the small scale typical of murrini work, with natural variation in shading and detail across the bag.
What glass are these compatible with?
These are COE90 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE so the expansion rates stay matched during firing and cooling. Mismatched coefficients of expansion risk stress and cracking in the finished piece.
How many slices come in a bag?
Sold as a bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of sizes lets you pair larger focal owls with smaller supporting accents.
How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your base glass before loading the kiln. They work as decorative accents on pendants, jewelry cabochons, small dishes, plates, suncatchers, and ornaments. They sit on top of the base glass and fuse in during firing, not underneath it.

Working Notes
A full fuse will melt these murrini flat and flush into the surface of your base glass, blending the owl image smoothly into the piece. A tack fuse will stop short of that, leaving the slices slightly raised so the owl portrait keeps a more three-dimensional, textured appearance on the surface.
Always fire a small test piece before committing to your final project. The right schedule depends on your kiln, your specific base glass, and the result you are after, so use your test results as your guide rather than relying on a fixed recipe.
