Most of these green heart murrini slices show a crisp heart motif built up in three distinct layers of green glass. The center of each heart is a solid mid-to-deep green, surrounded by a lighter yellow-green ring, and the whole heart is traced by a thin dark green outline, all set against a pale green field that fills the rest of the round slice. The layering is clean and the heart reads clearly even at the smaller end of the size range, and a few side-cut pieces in the mix read as solid pale green.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so the patterned slices reveal the same heart design. To use them, place individual slices flat on the surface of your COE96 base glass, then fire the piece so the slices fuse in. They function as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, dishes, plates, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What colors and layers make up the heart design? Each patterned slice shows three tones of green: a mid-to-deep green heart at the center, a lighter yellow-green ring around it, and a thin dark green outline tracing the heart shape, all on a pale green outer field. The entire motif is green, with no contrasting colors, giving it a cohesive, natural character.
What COE glass can I use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. They must be used only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass of different expansion rates creates thermal stress that can cause cracking as the finished piece cools.
How many slices come in a pack? These murrini are sold as a bag of assorted slices. Slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so each bag holds its own mix of smaller and larger hearts.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your base glass, then fire the piece in your kiln. The murrini fuse in place and become part of the finished surface. A full fuse melts the slices flush with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated look. A tack fuse stops short of full melt, leaving the slices raised and giving the piece more surface texture and depth.
Specifications
SKU: 172277 COE: COE96 Format: bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Net weight: about 1/2 oz per bag Pattern: layered heart, deep green center in a yellow-green ring traced by a thin dark green outline on pale green Working Notes
Your firing choice will affect the final appearance of the murrini. A full fuse brings the slices level with the surrounding glass and integrates them smoothly into the surface. A tack fuse uses a lower peak temperature or shorter hold, leaving the slices more raised and producing a more textured, three-dimensional result.
Test a small sample tile before committing a full project. Results depend on your kiln, the thickness of your base glass, and the specific COE96 glass you are working with. Dial in your schedule on scrap glass first so you know what to expect from your setup.
