First some pics, then some words:









I just adore glass art, so when I was on vacation in Key West last week, and I encountered this little dude, it was love at first sight and I knew he had to come home with me. He is exquisitely crafted. If anyone is interested to know the artist, I have his bio around here somewhere. The technique involved in shaping this animal out of pyrex is masterful - the eyes are the best examples of the capability of the artist to envision and create (the depth and fine detail is incredible!). The posture and anatomical proportion shows familiarity with the reptiles he's seeking to represent (he also does frogs and lizards) which makes me all the more happy to support his craft - I'm just enthralled to add this snake to my "collection"
