Flat-End Dogwood Kit, (3 variations), COE 96 Murrini Millefiori

The Dogwood Kits are back to our original solid cane centers (instead of frit centers like last year). There will be a variation on kits available. Most kits are with a “regular” size dogwood Petal like you see here and consist of 8 dogwood petal canes, 2 center canes, and 3 leaf canes that will vary in size. The 8,2,3 is because 4 dogwood petals will go around one center. If snipped into 3mm pieces, you’ll be able to make approximately 32 dogwood flowers from this kit. 

Other options will be a package of small dogwood petals with small centers, but will have no leavesin it. A third option will be an XL Dogwood Kit. This will have 4 large dogwood petals, 1 large center cane and 2 dogwood leaves that will vary in size. My little project this week uses all 3 sizes. 

Tests:

Above we see one fully fused dogwood on clear from the front, then from the back. The next two images are with a leaf added from the front and the back. The tack fused version can be seen on today’s little project in the listing photos.

They were hand-pulled by me in my glass shop’s vitrigraph kiln and are annealed and tested. Widths range (see dime for size reference). They were photographed in the best lighting possible to show accurate colors (however all computer monitors render colors differently). My murrini is created with Oceanside’s fusible COE 96 glass unless otherwise specified in the listing.

Listing prices vary with each variation. 

A tack fuse is best to preserve the shape of the murrini, however a fully fused version is also shown. Thumbnail shows a tack fuse of 1305 for 15 minutes top temp in my paragon kiln.
