Each slice in this bag shows a dragonfly in mid flight, wings spread wide, rendered in a deeper medium blue against a pale icy blue-white ground. The two-tone contrast is strong and clear at the small scale of these slices, keeping the dragonfly silhouette readable whether you place a single accent or scatter several across a piece. Slices come in a natural mix of round and squared profiles, a result of the varied cross-sections revealed when glass cane is cut.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and every slice in this bag reveals the same dragonfly motif. To use them, arrange individual slices face up on the surface of your fused glass project and fire them in place. They function as decorative surface accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the dragonfly pattern look like?
The motif shows a dragonfly viewed from above with four wings extended in a symmetrical spread. The figure appears in a richer medium blue against a pale icy blue-white background. The contrast between the two blues keeps the figure legible even on the smallest slices in the bag.
What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Pairing murrini and base glass with different expansion rates introduces thermal stress that can cause cracking as the piece cools.
How many slices come in a bag?
Sold as a bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from bag to bag.
How do I incorporate murrini into a fused glass project?
Place individual slices on the surface of your COE90 glass base before firing. The murrini fuse into the surface as decorative accents. For a smooth, flush result, fire to a full fuse. To keep more of the raised, three-dimensional profile of each slice, use a tack fuse instead.

Working Notes
At a full fuse, these murrini will melt level and flush with the surface of your glass, blending smoothly into the piece. At a tack fuse, they stay slightly raised above the surface, which preserves more of the dimensional character of each slice. Both approaches produce good results depending on the look you want.
Because results vary by glass system, kiln model, and shelf position, fire a small test sample before committing to a full project. Match your ramp, hold, and anneal schedule to your specific COE90 glass and kiln rather than relying on generic temperature targets.
