Each slice in this pack shows a small nuthatch perched in profile against a white ground. The bird is rendered with blue back and wings, a warm orange-tawny breast and flanks, and a dark head, capturing the nuthatch's compact songbird silhouette. The motif repeats from slice to slice, so it is straightforward to arrange multiple birds across a single piece for a coordinated nature-themed design.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and because the pattern runs the full length of the cane every slice shows the same bird image. Place individual slices on the surface of your prepared glass base and fire them in your kiln. They work as decorative accents on fused glass jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.

Specifications
SKU: 10710 COE: COE90 Format: bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Net weight: about 1/2 oz per bag Pattern/motif: nuthatch songbird, blue back and wings, orange-tawny breast, dark head, white ground Working Notes
A full fuse will melt these murrini flat and flush into the surface of your glass, integrating the bird image smoothly with the surrounding material. A tack fuse fires to a lower temperature and preserves more of the slice's raised, three-dimensional profile, so the nuthatch sits up from the surface with more visual depth. Each approach produces a distinct result, and the right choice depends on the look you want.
Always fire a small test sample before committing your full project. Firing schedules vary with your kiln model, the thickness of your glass stack, and the specific COE90 base glass you are using. Match your schedule to your setup and adjust from there.
