指甲大的玻璃昆虫

玻璃雕刻家卫斯理·弗莱明创作了真人大小、解剖结构正确的各种稀奇古怪的昆虫雕塑。这些色彩斑斓的生物小到可以在他的指尖轻轻平衡，就像一只霓虹闪烁的橙色蜘蛛，只比他的指甲大一点点。这位艺术家在15年前开始在麻省理工学院的玻璃实验室使用这种介质，从那以后他就一直在推广他的技术，2005年，他在威尼斯的慕拉诺岛上学习火焰加工、硼硅酸盐雕刻以及意大利的软玻璃雕刻技术。

Glass sculptor Wesley Fleming creates life-size and anatomically correct sculptures of a variety of bizarre and well-known insects. The colorful creatures are small enough to balance gently on the tip of his finger, like a neon orange spider barely larger than his nail. The artist began working with the medium more than 15 years ago at the MIT Glass Lab and has pushed his technique ever since, learning flameworking, sculpting with borosilicate, and the Italian technique of sculpting soft glass on the Venetian island of Murano in 2005. You can see more of his work with insects and other creatures on his website and Instagram, and view glass sculptures for sale on Etsy. (thnx, Diana!)
