Here are a few options:

#1

Take a Loren Stump Class.

Loren will be teaching in Omaha in November...

here is the information that was posted on another forum:

Loren Stump Workshop
Loren I
This course will be divided into three parts: Murrini, Sculptural Techniques and Encasement. Murrini will result in a Franchini-style shaded face and your signature cane. You will start with color mixing and blending which will be used to make shaded colors for a face. Eyes, nose and mouth cane will by built in the flame and then pulled down to a smaller size for component parts to construct the final face. In a like manner, letter canes will be assembled to create signature canes. Sculptural Techniques will examine several different methods for achieving human body and animal sculptural forms. The techniques include cold assembly, hot sculpture, detail overlay, temperature control, tool use, drilling holes with hot tungsten pick, and the correct application of murrini. Encasement will produce a small floral paperweight. Floral setup techniques include using blended colors, ribbed cane and overlays as components for creating leaf stock, stems, buds, ball flowers, petals, and stamen. You will then assemble and arrange the floral components into a "setup" with a quick lesson in frit making to use as a background. A Stumpsucker will be used to vacuum encase a sculptural or floral setup in Schott crystal.

Save the dates: November 4-8, 2008

Those were all created before 2003....

The other murrini's were created by one of the following per the eBay description:


Mike Warren, Jesse Taj, Nathan Middleton, and Ryan Ballinger

They also state that more will be listed too...they might have what you are looking for...maybe if you contact them they can let you know if they come across the NFL team you are after.

Good luck!
