Each slice carries a red maple leaf motif set against a clear, faintly pale ground. The red is solid and saturated, so the leaf shape stands out boldly at the small scale of a slice, while the clear surround lets the base glass of your project show through around the motif. The result is a compact autumn accent that works on jewelry as well as larger fused surfaces.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Arrange individual slices on the surface of your prepared COE90 fused glass piece, such as a pendant blank, plate, suncatcher, or ornament, then fire so they fuse into the surface as decorative accents. Combine them only with glass of the same COE.
What pattern do these murrini show? A solid, saturated red maple leaf against a clear or pale background, with strong contrast that carries the motif even on smaller slices.
What glass should I use with these murrini? These are COE90 murrini; fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Using a different coefficient of expansion introduces thermal stress that can cause cracking during firing or as the piece cools.
How many slices are in a pack? Sold as a bag of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so there is no fixed number; the photo shows a representative spread.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Place individual slices on the surface of your prepared piece and fire them in as surface accents. Test a small sample first to find the result that fits your design.
Specifications
SKU: 13973 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: red maple leaf on a clear or pale background Working Notes
A full fuse melts these maple leaf murrini flat into your glass surface, integrating the red motif smoothly and flush with the surrounding piece. A tack fuse stops short of that, leaving more of the raised profile and a three-dimensional character.
Always test a small sample before committing these slices to a finished piece, and match your firing schedule to your glass system and kiln.
