Beautiful!!! I must admit, he loses some points with me because of his rather dubious reasons for doing the sculptures.(Revealing the nefarious lie of pseudo-coloring in scientific imagery?! o_O) ...and because he doesn't make anythng himself.

Going back to the Blaschkas...I recently stumbled on this lovely set of images of the glass flowers at Harvard

I'm pretty sure a lot of you have seen Luke Jerram's amazing glass microbiology models already, but just in case not:

Here's a short YouTube film of his malaria sculpture.

Haha! Yeah, weird I haven't posted her stuff here yet - I guess I thought putting it on the blog would do.

You just use the second icon with the little world and the document attached to it. Yeah, I don't know either what "hyperlink" has got to do with "world and document".  Confused
