Each slice in this bag shows a dragonfly with a slender dark, near-black body and bright orange wings set against a translucent white opal background. The orange wing patches spread symmetrically from the thin dark center line in a classic dragonfly silhouette, and the contrast against the pale opal keeps the motif easy to read even at small sizes. The image repeats consistently from slice to slice, and a few side-cut pieces read as banded orange and dark stripes.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice reveals the same dragonfly image. Place individual slices on the surface of a COE96 fused glass project and fire them in as accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What COE glass must I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini and must be fused only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different expansion rates causes stress and cracking, so keep all components at the same COE.
How many slices come in a pack?
Sold as a bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so each bag holds its own mix of smaller and larger dragonflies.
How do I incorporate these murrini into a fused glass piece?
Arrange the slices face-up on the surface of your COE96 base glass, then fire them in your kiln. Because each slice carries the same image, they can be scattered randomly or placed in a deliberate pattern with predictable results. A full fuse melts them flat and flush; a tack fuse preserves more of the raised, three-dimensional character so the dragonfly sits slightly proud.

Working Notes
Test a small sample piece before committing to a full firing. Conditions vary between kilns, glass types, and project thicknesses, so a quick test helps you match the schedule to your setup and get the result you want.
