if you can do a wigwag...
condense your wigwag down as much as possible
add a maria of clear to each side
and you should be able to heat the center and do a cane pull....
i havent actually done it... but pretty sure thats how its done...

Here's what I do...
Wig-wag: Take a tube (usually 22mm) and draw lines down it. Attach a punty to the end, heat the tube, and pull it out thin. Heat a small spot just past the handle and twist the tube. Then heat a little farther up and twist back the other direction. Keep heating and twisting sections until the whole tube is twisted. Then heat the entire section that you stretched out, blow it into a bubble, and then condense into a solid disc.
Honeycomb: Pull a point and blow it into a bubble. Open the tip of the bubble and flare it out. Fume the inside with silver and close back down. Clean up the end and heat and blow back out into a thin bubble. Add clear dots on the bubble and melt down and condense.
Obviously, those techniques are easier to see in pictures or video, but hopefully they make sense. They will both be in my pendant book that I'm working on....
To make them into murrini, keep heating and condensing them until they thicken up. Attach a punty to the bottom, remove it from the tube, attach another punty, and heat up the mass and pull it down.

Hey that's pretty cool. Thanks Cosmo.
Anyone have pics of finished products? For some reason I can't wrap my head around what a honeycomb milli would look like, and while I have an idea about wigwag milli, I'd still like to see it

Ok well I got a pull and it came out ok but im almost positive with wigwags it has to be done on 50mm to get the best pull with the most out of it.
1) Make a wigwag reverse the axis.
2)have a 50mm to 19mm handle ready
3)attach the wag and disc it into the top of the 50
4)condense like you know what
5)have a punty with the size of the wigwag disc ready.
6)focus the heat onto the 50mm with the condensed disc
7)once theres a nice heatbase. attach punty cold and give it a gentle pull into a cane

I had luck wit this but didn't get a full image pull because I did it on 35mm with a 19 handle I think the 50mm with make a better pull. And no it doent have to be a wigwag per say it could be a spiral,wigwag,bowtie or whatever.
