Each piece in this pack is cut square rather than round, which is exactly what the Hip To Be Square name signals. A pale, creamy outer casing frames a saturated lime green square, and a smaller, lighter square sits at the center of each tile. The result is a clean geometric glass tile with a fresh lime green look that reads clearly from a distance and lines up neatly in fused glass compositions.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so the same square design appears on every piece. These COE96 murrini are meant to be placed individually on the surface of a fused glass base, such as a pendant, plate, dish, or suncatcher, and fired so they fuse in as decorative accents. The square format makes them especially easy to line up in grids, rows, or offset mosaic arrangements.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like? Each piece is a small square tile: a pale outer casing surrounds a saturated lime green square, with a lighter square at the center. The layered squares give each piece a simple, graphic geometric look that works in both bold layouts and more restrained accent arrangements.
What COE glass should I fuse these with? These are COE96 murrini and must be used only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different coefficients of expansion creates thermal stress during cooling and can cause cracking or delamination.
How many slices come in a pack? These murrini are sold as a bag of assorted pieces; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The size range within each bag suits both tight mosaic grids and single scattered accents.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual pieces face up on the surface of your COE96 base glass before firing. Because these are square, you can align them in neat rows, rotate them at angles, or mix orientations for variety. A full fuse will melt each square flat and flush into the surface; a tack fuse keeps more of the raised relief so the tile form stays visible above the glass.
Specifications
SKU: 153848 COE: COE96 Format: bag of assorted pieces; sizes and counts vary Net weight: about 1/2 oz per bag Pattern/motif: square tile, saturated lime green with a pale outer casing and lighter center square Working Notes
A full fuse will melt these square lime green tiles flush into your base glass, blending them smoothly into the surface. A tack fuse leaves more three-dimensional relief, so the square tile form stays raised and visible. Either way, run a small test piece before committing to a full project, and build your firing schedule around your specific kiln and glass rather than a generic chart.
