Making ladybug murrini: intermediate-to-advanced glass project
Article Abstract:
A ladybug murrini is a perfect example of a miniature world showing the littlest detail. A nine-step guide to making a ladybug murrini begins with the eyes of the ladybug and ends with encasing the ladybug in clear glass. The base on which to build the ladybug can be made by beading and flattening melted glass around the bottom of the punty.
