Ocean Mix, 1.15+oz, COE 96 Murrini Millefiori

In this sweet little mix will be two Jellyfish (White and Lime), a Starfish, a Sea Shell, a Striped Fish with Tail, and a Sand Dollar.

These mixes are heavy and weighing in at over 2oz., but I wanted everyone to be able to get a sample of each design without having to buy a full package of each. ❤️

FISH TIPS:
I recommend three things when you are attempting to keep the fish's tail from separating away from the body in a light tack fuse (these tips have been helpful for me, anyway). 1. a slower ramp up in your first segment (maybe 150 degrees per hour instead of 300 until you reach 1150) and 2. don't use glue to hold them together. Sometimes we glue a tail to the body and it looks great, but the only thing holding the tail in place is the glue. Once the glue burns off, the tail will move back to where it would naturally have wanted to go. So place the tail at the end before you fire up the kiln and make sure it is touching the body as close as it possibly can. And finally, 3. if you set the tail next to the body and it already seems like it is leaning away from the fish, flip the tail over and I think you'll find it will snuggle right up to the body.

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.

This listing is for 1.15+ ounces (7 canes). 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.
