Thank you for taking time to look at my gallery. To say working with glass is a passion is an understatement. Glassblowing is what I am... not what I do.
Any comments are appreciated, and thanks again for your interest.

A large cluster of random murrine from the last couple of years. Sorry for the lighting, i'll put better pics up soon. I'm still compiling the chips of the 1000+ murrini i've made over the years for one large pic, i'll post it when it's finshed.
Thanks for looking at my gallery!

I dont normally post individual murrine, but this one I think deserves it. Most murrine take me a day or two to make, this one took five full days. The lion in the flag is the same one that's in the chip next to it.
An afterthought: I owe big props to Mike Warren for his first lion way back in 98? I was moved by his work so much, I started making murrine the next month.
PROPS TO OLDSCHOOL!

Some other shapes in the aquatic series. Most were a little smaller than the Ocean Crystals.

These are a few more of my murrini tiles from '03 - '06. Most are about 4" X 6". Flameworked with cold worked edges. These are one of my favorite pieces to make.

A series of beads/ cabachons that I did for the Best Bead Show in Tuscon '05.
They resemble the tiles, but with more faceting. Some landscape, some aquatic. All were about 1" tall, and .5" across.

A combination of new school flameworking technique with old school paperweight shape. No murrini, but an idea I had to pursue anyway. All are about 3" diameter, and have a single facet on top.

A few peices from a series of paperweights shaped like crystals - '02- '04. All are completely solid, flameworked boro (no coldwork.) Size varies, but most were 5-7" tall, with a 2-3" diameter. As with the tiles, a dichroic background. Most had about 100 included murrini.

I made these as part of floral murrini series back in '04. Paperweight has concentric rings of flower murrini. Center is a pumeria, then orchids,then butterflies, then daisies, then roses and orchids, ending with daisies and hyasynth. All on a base of moss green. Size is roughly 3" diameter.

My name is Dave Strobel, I've been blowing glass since 1991. I started with softglass hotshop work for a year, then moved into borosilicate scientific fabrication and repair for a few years, moving into boro artglass exclusively in 1995. The past six years have been spent with a very high emphasis on boro murrini; both making and using them.
I now live in the SF Bay area making boro murrini for distributors, businesses, and artists. I also have an extensive line of paperweights, tiles, and marbles that I make in my spare time. My new website will be up soon. Until then, send questions to my temporary email.
Thank you for everyone's interest and support over the years!
Thank you all for your feedback- both positive and negative is always appreciated.
