Each slice shows a slender dragonfly on a soft, milky white opal ground. The body is deep plum and reads nearly black, running as a fine line down the center with faint wings to either side. The motif is understated, clearest on the larger slices and once fused, kept quiet and clean by the white opal ground.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Place individual slices on the surface of a fused glass piece and fire them in as decorative accents on pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments. These are COE96 murrini; use them only with glass of the same COE.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like? A slender deep plum dragonfly body, reading nearly black, with faint wings on a white opal ground. The subtlety means the motif is quiet at the smallest sizes and reads best on the larger slices.
What glass do I use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Pairing them with a different coefficient of expansion creates thermal stress that can crack the piece as it cools.
How are these sold? Sold by the jar as an assortment of slices. Sizes and counts vary from jar to jar.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE96 base glass and fire. They serve as surface accents on pendants, plates, dishes, ornaments, and suncatchers.
Specifications
SKU: 164501 COE: COE96 Form: jar of assorted slices Pattern: dragonfly, deep plum reading nearly black, on a white opal ground Working Notes
At a full fuse, these slices melt flat and flush with the surface for a smooth, integrated look. At a tack fuse, they keep more height and a gently rounded profile that catches light from the side. Fire a small test piece first, since the right schedule depends on your specific COE96 glass, your kiln, and the thickness of your project.
