Green Dragonfly Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

Each slice in this jar shows a dragonfly with green wings fanned out in two symmetrical pairs from a dark, slender body, set on a white to clear ground. The wings carry the color while the near black body draws the crisp center line of the silhouette, and that contrast keeps the motif readable across the full range of slice sizes in the jar.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the image you see on the face of every slice is the same design that runs the full length of that cane. These Green Dragonfly murrini are COE96 accents for fused glass work: place individual slices face up on the surface of a compatible base glass piece and fire them in so they bond to the project.

What does the dragonfly pattern look like?
Each slice shows a dragonfly with green wings spread in two symmetrical pairs and a dark, slender body running vertically through the center, on a white to clear ground. The green wings against the pale field give each slice a clean, balanced silhouette that is easy to recognize at murrini scale.

What COE glass should I pair with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Combining mismatched expansion rates can cause stress and cracking during or after firing.

How many slices are in a jar?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. Expect a natural mix of sizes in each jar.

How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual dragonfly slices face up on the surface of your prepared COE96 base glass before loading the kiln. They work well scattered across suncatcher rounds, placed on pendants or jewelry pieces, or grouped on plates and dishes. At a full fuse the slices melt flat and flush into the surrounding glass; at a tack fuse they retain more of their raised, three dimensional profile. Test a small sample first and dial in the schedule to match your glass and kiln.

Working Notes

A full fuse brings temperatures high enough to collapse the murrini so they melt level with the surrounding glass, creating a smooth, integrated surface. A tack fuse uses a lower peak temperature to bond the slices in place while keeping them raised, preserving the dragonfly's relief above the base layer. Each approach suits different finished looks, so consider the effect you want before choosing your schedule.

Always run a test sample before committing to a full project. Results depend on your kiln's specific behavior, the thickness and brand of your COE96 base glass, and how the slices are arranged on the piece. Use your own test results to fine tune ramp rates and hold times rather than relying on a single generic schedule.
