Snowman Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

Each slice in this pack shows a snowman figure with two rounded, stacked body sections outlined in blue against a white field. Small blue dots mark the eyes and buttons, a little red cap sits at the top of the head, and fine brown stick arms reach out from the body on many of the slices. The motif is compact and immediately recognizable as a snowman across the range of sizes in the jar.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice shows the same snowman figure. These are COE90 murrini, made to fuse with glass of the same COE. To use them, place individual slices on the surface of a prepared glass piece and fire the assembly in your kiln, letting the murrini fuse into pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, or ornaments as decorative accents.

What does the motif on each slice show?
Each slice shows a snowman with two stacked, rounded body sections outlined in blue on a white field, with blue dot eyes and buttons, a small red cap at the top of the figure, and fine brown stick arm details. The image reads clearly across the size range in the pack.

What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini and must be fused only with glass of the same COE. Using glass with a different coefficient of expansion introduces thermal stress during cooling that can crack the piece, so confirm your base glass matches before firing.

How many slices come in a pack?
These murrini are sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of sizes works for both focal snowmen and smaller scattered accents.

How do I use these slices in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual murrini slices on the surface of your glass piece, then fire in your kiln. A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush into the surface for a smooth, integrated finish. A tack fuse stops before full melt and leaves the slices slightly raised, which tends to keep the blue outline, red cap, and stick arm details more distinct against the background glass. The best approach depends on the surface look you want.

Working Notes

A full fuse melts these snowman slices flat and flush with the surface, which gives a smooth finish but softens the raised profile of each slice. A tack fuse keeps more of the three-dimensional look and can preserve the contrast between the blue outlines, the white body, and the red and brown details. Both approaches work with this motif; the result depends on your glass, your kiln, and how much relief you want in the finished surface.

Always fire a small test piece before working on a finished project. Outcomes vary with kiln type, glass thickness, and firing schedule, so a test is the most reliable way to confirm the look you want before committing to a final piece.
