Each slice in this bag sets a compact owl design at the center of a translucent, smoke toned outer ring. The central markings run from dark brown to near black inside that soft gray cast, and on many slices a pair of small rounded shapes reads as the owl's eyes. The motif is subtle rather than sharply drawn, closer to a small abstract portrait than a cartoon, which suits earth toned and neutral projects well.
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 COE96, 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 owl pattern look like in each slice?
A translucent smoke gray ring surrounding a dark brown to near black central area. Markings within the center suggest the owl's rounded face and eyes rather than outlining them crisply, so the design reads best over lighter or amber base glass where the translucent ring can glow.
What glass do I need to fuse these with?
These murrini are COE96. 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 bag 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 bag.
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 an owl slice can anchor a composition as a focal point or repeat as scattered detail across woodland themed pendants, dishes, 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 COE96 glass.
