Each slice shows a paw print in solid black: a large central pad with smaller toe pads set above it, printed on a bright white ground and framed by a dark outer ring. The black-on-white contrast keeps the shape crisp and easy to read even on the smallest pieces in the pack, which makes these a natural accent for animal-themed fused glass or any project that wants a clean, graphic image. A few pieces come from square-cut cane, so you will see the occasional square outline alongside the round slices.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. To use them, set individual slices face up on the surface of a prepared COE90 fused glass piece and fire them in. They work as decorative accents on pendants, plates, suncatchers, dishes, and ornaments.
What does the pattern on these murrini show?
A black paw print, one rounded central pad with smaller toe pads, on a white ground with a dark border. The motif stays consistent from slice to slice.
What COE glass do I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing glass of different expansion rates puts stress into the finished piece and can crack it during or after firing.
How are these murrini sold?
Sold by the pack. Slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so you get a natural range of sizes to work with.
How do I add these to a fused glass project?
Place individual slices face up on your base glass, then fire to your schedule. A full fuse melts them flat and flush with the surrounding glass; a tack fuse keeps them slightly raised so the paw print holds a bit of dimension and a crisp edge.

Working Notes
At a full fuse these slices sink level with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated surface; at a tack fuse they keep more height and the raised detail of the paw print stays visible. Because slice size and thickness vary within a pack, individual pieces can respond a little differently to heat, so fire a small test tile first, ideally with a range of sizes on it, to preview the result in your own kiln before committing to a finished piece.
