HOW TO USE THIS OPTIC MOLD:
There seems to be a craze going on lately, of having a 'plus' in the middle of the murrini. A regular 'plus' shaped cavity would not have enough room in the center to plunge a hot blob of glass down into, so the plus sign in Optic 103 is more of a square with nubs. This gives you those crisp 90 degree corners, then you build on the nubs to complete the plus, or fill in the corner sections for the 'checker board' that is now popping up in a lot of murrini designs, too.
Optic 103 also allows you to 'build' up layers of shapes. Try making a triangle, encase it, stretch it out just a bit, plunge it into the square, encase it, stretch it out just a bit, plunge it into the round, rinse and repeat or mix it up to suit your fancy. All of the cavities are relatively the same size, so the stretching out step is necessary to be able to fit into the next 'layer shape' cavity.
