    Thanks everyone!!! Small details [aka anal retention] are what I do best.

    The detail is outstanding, took me a good couple minutes per pic just to absorb it all. Nice work

    this just doesnt make sense that a mere human can make such lifelike creations out of glass.

    fuck me wes, they are so perfect...

    Jesus Wes.

    If your goal is to make almost every other glass sculptor look like an amateur, well, you have succeeded.

    That beetle is just awesome.

    And the wings on the wasp (is it?) in the first pic, superb.

    Carry on.

    These are the coolest most real looking glass I've seen personally
    If you don't mind me asking about how long does it take you to make something like that spider?

    @Pope - each piece takes between 10-15 seconds to make, depending on what kind of gum I'm chewing on a given day.

    Really cool stuff man. My favourite art is when someone uses extreme technical ability to reproduce the master - mother nature. So I'm a fan!

    That you can ship those delicate things without breakage is just as mind-blowing to me.

    The delicacy of your work is stunning.

    I feel like I have catcher's mitts for hands after looking at those.

    I want to know the secret to that level of stringer control.



    .
    Seriously, really nice stuff.

    Chaka, my unsincere apologies!!!

    The secret is soft glass. Seriously. Holds heat a lot longer than that boro garbage
