Most slices in this jar carry a classic holiday holly motif: small round red berries clustered at the center, framed by dark green pointed holly leaves, all set against a crisp white ground. Mixed in are a few triangular slices shaped like tiny Christmas trees, green with red dots, which add variety to the holiday assortment. The patterns are compact and well centered, so even the smaller slices read clearly.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. In glass fusing, artists place individual murrini on the surface of a base glass piece and fire them so the slices fuse in. Place these holly murrini on pendants, ornament blanks, plates, suncatchers, or holiday dishes to add a festive seasonal accent to your COE96 fused glass work.

Specifications
SKU: 156411 COE: COE96 Sold as: jar of assorted slices (sizes, counts, and motif mix vary) Pattern: Holly sprig with red berries and green leaves on white, plus some tree shaped slices Working Notes
A full fuse will melt these murrini into the surface of your base glass, leaving the holly pattern flush and smooth with the surrounding material. A tack fuse preserves more of each slice's raised profile, giving the finished piece a slightly dimensional, textured look. Results vary with glass type, kiln, and shelf position, so fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Match your firing schedule to your specific glass and kiln rather than relying on a single fixed approach.
