Each slice in this bag carries a compact whale motif in cobalt and medium blue on a white or pale sky blue ground. At the small scale of a murrini slice the whale reads as a rounded blue silhouette, and the clean two-tone palette gives the bag a fresh, oceanic character suited to coastal, sea life, and nautical themed fused glass work.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice carries the same whale image in miniature. To use them, place individual slices on the surface of your base glass, arrange them as you like, and fire them in your kiln so they bond into the piece. They work well in jewelry, pendants, suncatchers, small dishes, and ornaments, adding a recognizable motif without any additional painting or engraving. Sold as a bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.

Specifications
SKU: 172286 COE: COE96 Format: bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Net weight: about 1/2 oz per bag Pattern: Whale motif in cobalt and medium blue on white or pale blue Working Notes
A full fuse will melt these murrini down flat so they sit flush with the surface of your base glass, integrating the whale motif smoothly into the piece. A tack fuse stops short of full melt, preserving more of the raised profile of each slice and keeping the edges distinct. Both approaches are valid; the right choice depends on the finished look you want and the project you are making.
Always fire a small test tile before committing to a full piece. Glass behavior varies by kiln, shelf position, and the specific COE96 glass you pair with these slices. Use your test results to dial in a schedule that suits your setup rather than relying on a generic firing guide.
