Time for another episode of “How Did They Do That?” How was the snake sealed inside solid glass? How is it so perfectly preserved? The truth is - it’s all glass. The snake, the flowers, the acorns, twigs, lichens, rocks, and even the bits of sand are each painstakingly crafted from molten glass. @gordosglass sculpted every detail at an open flame using fine tools and thin rods of colored glass, then encapsulated the entire scene in clear crystal. #glass #art #glassart #millefiori #murrine #flame
