Each slice shows a maple leaf on a clear glass ground. The leaf keeps the classic multi pointed maple outline, rendered in shades of red around a dark olive green center that reads near-black at its core, with deeper red where the lobes gather toward the middle. The clear surround makes the silhouette read clearly at the small scale of each slice.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Place individual slices on the surface of a COE90 fused glass project and fire them in as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like? A red maple leaf with a dark olive green center (near-black at the core), set in a clear surround. The green center gives every leaf a natural two tone look that stays recognizable at small sizes.
What COE glass do I need to use with these murrini? These are COE90 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Glass with a different coefficient of expansion will create stress in the finished piece and can cause cracking during or after firing.
How many slices come in a jar? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. Use larger leaves as focal points and smaller ones as scattered accents.
How do I use these murrini in a fused glass project? Place individual slices face up on the surface of your base glass, then fire them in. They are surface accents, not a base layer.
Specifications
SKU: 13971 COE: COE90 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: red maple leaf with a prominent olive green center on a clear glass surround Working Notes
A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush into the surrounding glass. A tack fuse keeps more of the raised, three dimensional character of each slice and makes the leaf shape stand out more. Both keep the pattern clearly visible.
Results vary by glass thickness, kiln, and setup, so fire a small test piece before committing to a full project and match your schedule to your COE90 glass.
