Oh the fun you are going to have working with these beauties. I'll have these Columbines packaged as kits. Each kit will have 4 back petal canes, 4 top petal canes, and a full cane of the dotted center (it needs to be snipped very thin, so you should have lots left over). You will get approximately 16 even pieces if you snip each cane in half, then each of those halves in half and so on. You could possibly snip them thinner by eyeballing it, but you want your pieces to be as even as possible. I did it both ways and was able to get 17 pieces by eyeballing instead of 16 from each cane doing the half in half in half technique, but the eyeballed ones weren't quite as consistent in size. So totally up to you and your comfort level of snipping. Thinner petals are nice, but consistency in height of each snipped piece is key. Also, several pulls were done to create these kits, so some petals may look slightly different depending on the pull it came from.
Note: For the best end result, I'm highly recommending you fuse these in a TWO STEP process. More on this in the video below.
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.
Feel free to contact me with questions either before or after purchase. I’m always happy to help!
