Lightning Bug Kits, COE 96 Murrini Millefiori

Where I come from, we call these cuties Lightning Bugs. Of course, others call them Fireflies. Whatever we might call them, I'm excited to have this new design in my Critter lineup! Kits will come with several parts. Light Tack Fuse recommended.

There is the main body, upper black wings, then lower transparent wings. I looked at several graphics of Fireflies and they all had two sets of wings, so mine do as well! Lisa worked hard to keep them all proportional. Since the upper wing is black and the lower wing is transparent, they'll look best when on a lighter background. In my description of the process of this week's project in my 10/3 blog, I'll explain another alternative to having them stand out, even on a darker background...as they do only come out at night after all! 😁

Smalls will have 5 bug bodies, 10 upper black wings and 10 lower transparent wings

Mediums will have 4 bug bodies, 8 upper black wings and 8 lower transparent wings

Larges will have 3 bug bodies, 6 upper black wings and 6 lower transparent wings

These lil bugs 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 only Oceanside fusible glass in my shop unless otherwise stated in the listing. COE 96.

If you have any questions before or after purchase just reach out! I’m always happy to help.
