This twisted cane carries a two tone green pattern through its full length. Cut faces show a bright spring green motif set inside concentric bands of deeper jade green. Because the cane is twisted, the pattern rotates along its length: the center reads as a rounded square on some cuts and as a round dot or clover form on others, so consecutive slices are related but never quite identical. The spring green is bright and yellow toned, while the jade green reads as a deeper, cooler counterpart.
Murrini are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, also called millefiori. Cut your own slices from this stick, place them on the surface of your COE90 fused glass project, and fire them in your kiln so they fuse into the base glass. The slices serve as decorative accents on pendants, earrings, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments, and cutting your own lets you control slice thickness and, with it, how much dimension each piece carries into the finished work.
What does the pattern look like when I slice this cane? Each cut face shows a bright spring green motif inside concentric jade green bands. The twist rotates the pattern along the cane, so the center reads as a rounded square on some slices and as a round dot or clover form on others. That variation is part of the character of a twisted cane.
What COE glass should I use with these murrini? This is a COE90 cane. Fuse its slices only with glass of the same COE. Verify that your base glass, frit, stringers, and any other inclusions in your project all share that COE, since mismatched expansion rates create thermal stress that can crack your piece during or after firing.
What do I receive? One single twisted glass cane, approximately 9 inches long. You cut your own slices from the cane at whatever thickness suits your project: thinner slices yield more pieces, thicker slices add height and dimension.
How do I use this cane in a fused glass project? Score and snap or use a wet saw to cut slices from the cane. Place the slices on the surface of your prepared COE90 glass base and fire in your kiln. Your choice of firing approach, full fuse versus tack fuse, determines how flat or raised the finished slices appear. See the Working Notes below for details.
Specifications
SKU: 170551 COE: COE90 Sold as: one twisted cane Length: approximately 9 inches Colors: spring green and jade green Pattern: green motif within concentric bands, shifting with the twist of the cane Working Notes
A full fuse melts murrini slices flat and flush into the surface of your base glass, producing a smooth finish where the green on green pattern sits level with the surrounding glass. A tack fuse stops short of full melting and leaves each slice slightly raised and three dimensional, so the motif stands a little proud of the surface. Both results can work well depending on the look you want for the finished piece.
Test a small sample before committing to a full project. Results vary by kiln model, glass thickness, and the specifics of your firing schedule. Match your schedule to the recommendations for your COE90 glass and adjust based on what your test pieces show.
