I have been wanting to experiment with murrini (handmade glass cane -this one by Double Helix glassworks) and while everyone else has perfected it, I am still way behind on figuring it out. I finally purchased some and though have been a bit intimidated by it, I was finally was able to play. I have tried a few things, but this is a bead I kind of like. It is bigger than what I ususally make and the little star pattern circle is the murrini.
