Each slice in this jar shows a dragonfly silhouette in a green so deep it approaches black, set on a clear transparent ground. The four wings spread symmetrically and the slender body runs down the center, so the insect stays crisp even in the smaller slices. Because the surround is clear, the silhouette takes on the color of whatever base glass sits beneath it, which makes these especially striking over light or brightly colored bases.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the design runs the full length of the cane, so every slice shows the same dragonfly. Place slices on the surface of a COE90 project and fire them in as accents on pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.
What COE glass should I use with these murrini? These are COE90 murrini. Pair them only with glass of the same COE, and confirm your base glass matches before combining. A mismatch in expansion rates can introduce stress cracks during or after firing.
How many slices come in a pack? Sold as a jar of assorted slices, so plan around a natural mix of diameters.
How do I use these murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your piece, such as a pendant, plate, dish, or suncatcher, and fire them so they fuse in place. They are decorative surface accents, not a base layer. A full fuse pulls the slices flat and flush with the surrounding glass; a tack fuse preserves more of their raised profile.

SKU: 164491 COE: COE90 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: deep green dragonfly silhouette on a clear transparent ground Working Notes
Because the surround is clear, these slices show most vividly over lighter or brighter base glass. Fire a small test piece before committing to a full project, and match the firing schedule to your specific glass and kiln, since results vary between setups.
