Fun with Murrini

I've been having so much fun playing around with my new Murrini from loriandkim on Etsy, and I wanted to show some of my results. The top picture is a pea green turtle with a slice of murrini topped with clear glass on its shell. I love the magnifying effect the clear glass has on the tiny piece of murrini. I had to change where I put the bead hole to make these turtles - now the hole runs horizontally through the shell. But that's the only way I could properly show off the murrini on the top of the shell.

This one is a tiny turtle in pea green, with a really cool murrini slice topped with clear on the top of its shell. Again, the bead hole runs sideways through the bead - which would work nicely for rings.

On Saturday, which was my birthday, I took advantage of the sale Lori and Kim had on their new website loriandkim.com and stocked up on even more murrini. Have a look around their glass candy shop, and see if you can guess which four murrini packs I picked.
