The term "millefiore" is Italian for "thousand flowers" and refers to the glass making technique used to create colored patterns in glass using long rods which are placed to form designs, then heated and stretched to make a "cane". When sliced, each piece has the design intact and these slices, called "murini" can be reheated and applied to larger pieces of glass. When used with polymer clay, the colored clay is shaped and the design is put together like a puzzle to form a cane.
