Using Murrine

I've been using some of those murrine in my ocean (& other) beads lately.

There's a photo in an earlier post of these starburst murrini. They get poked in the center as they're melted in, to bring the stripes together in a starburst pattern. These warm tones (yellow, orange & red) don't seem to like to be exposed to silver.

Flower murrine. These ones aren't poked, & I melt them in slowly & flatten them gently to prevent distortion.

These pale lavender murrini play nicely with the silver leaf used in the background.
