Each slice in this bag shows a ladybug: a rounded red body split by a thin black center line, black spots on each wing cover, a solid black head, and a clear glass border framing the whole figure. The red is opaque and consistent from slice to slice, and the clear surround keeps the image open and readable over white or light colored base glass.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Each slice is placed individually on the surface of a fused glass project and fired in as a decorative accent. These COE90 murrini work on pendants, brooches, plates, dishes, suncatchers, ornaments, and other flat or shallow fused pieces.
What does the motif on these murrini show? The same ladybug appears on every slice in the bag, framed by a clear glass ring that gives each piece a clean, finished look.
What glass is compatible with these murrini? These are COE90 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Glass with a different coefficient of expansion expands and contracts at a different rate during firing and cooling, which causes stress fractures. Confirm your base glass matches before fusing these in.
How many slices come in a bag? Sold as a bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of sizes lets you pair larger focal ladybugs with smaller companions across a single piece.
How do I place these in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices face up on the surface of your prepared glass base, press each lightly so it stays put during loading, then fire according to your project schedule and check the results before adjusting later firings.
Specifications
SKU: 10708 COE: COE90 Pack: bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: ladybug, red body with black spots and a black center line on a clear glass border Net weight: about 1/2 oz per bag Working Notes
A full fuse schedule melts the murrini flat and flush into the surface of your glass, folding the ladybug level with the surrounding piece. A tack fuse, using a lower peak temperature or a shorter hold, keeps more of the slice raised and preserves a rounder, more three dimensional look. Choose based on the result you are after.
Before using the full bag, fire one or two test slices with a small piece of your base glass. Kilns vary in how they distribute heat, and different glass brands within the same COE family can behave differently. A test run confirms your schedule before you commit the whole batch.
