Bee Kit, COE 96 Murrini Millefiori

What a fun addition to your fused glass projects! Sizes of bee bodies range from medium to X-large. The bodies ran a bit on the larger side and the WINGS in this batch of bees are on the SMALLER side. The heads should be snipped very very thin, like a hockey puck, so it sits flat on your project. You should have waaaaay more heads than you'll need. 😉

Medium Bee Kits: 4 bee bodies, 8 wings, 4 bee heads
Large Bee Kits: 3 bee bodies, 6 wings, 3 bee heads
X-Large Bee Kits: 2 bee bodies, 4 wings, 2 bee heads

My choice would be wheeled nippers on all parts of the bee. It is best to Tack Fuse these for an "as-is" look, however a fully fused version is below for you to see. 

These murrini were hand-pulled by me in my glass shop’s vitrigraph kiln, annealed and tested. See dime for size reference. They were photographed in the best lighting possible to show accurate colors (however all computer monitors render colors differently). I use Oceanside fusible glass unless specified in the listing. COE 96.

Once received, the 2-inch long canes can be snipped as thick or thin as you’d like. If snipped into 3mm chips, you will get approximately 15 pieces per cane. Tack fused the bees will remain as-is in appearance, however a full fuse will cause them to really spread out. A test tiles are recommended to confirm results from temperatures in your kiln.

Feel free to contact me with questions either before or after purchase. I’m always happy to help!
