Item Name:
Millefiori - Salmon
SKU:
M2
Description:
Salmon Milli is a pre-made millefiori cane fragment in a warm salmon color, ready to incorporate into your lampworking projects. Millefiori is a traditional Italian glassmaking technique where multiple layers of colored glass are fused together, then drawn into thin canes and sliced into small pieces. These slices reveal intricate, repeating patterns that were created during the cane-building process. The salmon color provides a warm, organic hue that works beautifully in beadmaking, jewelry components, and decorative applications. Each piece is sold by weight in 5-gram increments, making it easy to control how much decorative glass you're using in your work.
How it is used:
- Heat the millefiori slice gently in the flame until it reaches working temperature, being careful not to overheat and distort the pattern.
- Apply the heated milli to a mandrel or to the surface of a glass bead you are building to add decorative detail and color.
- Layer multiple milli pieces to build complex, multi-colored designs within a single bead.
- Use in fusing applications by placing milli on top of a base glass sheet before firing in the kiln to create patterned focal pieces.
