This glass Land Snail is *tiny*, just look at that dime it's resting on for size reference! It is nicely detailed just like all of my work, with individual optical and sensory proboscises so it will see and smell its new home.
It is made of Effetre (aka "soft") glass via the lampworking technique - sculpted from molten glass rods, over an oxy-propane torch. Afterward, it has been annealed in a digitally-controlled kiln, so is fully stabilized and when properly cared for, should last several human lifetimes (much longer than a live mushroom!)

- All of my sculptures are individually hand-made by me, Wesley Fleming, by melting glass rods over a torch and then properly annealed in a digitally-controlled kiln to remove any stress from the making process.
