I really like Murrine and Millefiori. In actual fact I purchase it on a regular basis from a number of completely different artists. Murrine is little items of glass which can be cross-sections of cane that reveal photos. In response to Wikipedia, murrine “first appeared within the Center East greater than 4,000 years in the past and was revived by Venetian glassmakers on Murano within the early sixteenth century”. Millefiori is a kind of murrine and means a 1000 flowers. I hand reduce hearts and added murrine and millefiori. I’ve left them as fused glass pocket hearts, however they are often made into pendants, magnets, and many others.
I additionally made a number of fused glass crosses, once more hand reduce, and added murrine and millefiori. I say hand reduce as a result of I made the bottom in a big ingot (casted right into a form appropriate for additional processing) after which I reduce it up with my noticed. It additionally means they aren’t excellent and are handmade.
I additionally made fused glass 4 snaps and a pair of pendants. Aren’t they stunning.
