"Pepe's Murrine Collection"

This is a VERY special marble. Dave Strobel has long been one of the most prolific creators of boro murrine in the world, and much of his murrine cane has been sold to other artists, and hence you will find a lot of his work sprinkled throughout the creations of other marble and glass artists. Every now and then though, Dave will actually create a marble himself, and SOMETIMES he will take that marble creation to quite a masterful level, as you will see below. This marble is an awesome large collection of Dave's murrine, assembled into this stunning marble by Dave himself. Over 35 murrine are represented here, including Pepe' Le Pew, Tweety Bird, Marvin the Martian and the Skull and Crossbones. The back features a nice sparkly pinwheeled moss, with Pepe' centered in the middle. I suspect that Pepe' is either Dave's favorite Looney Tunes character or the murrine he is most proud of, because good ol' Pepe' is featured in many of Dave's marbles.
