For years Gordon has tirelessly honed his craft. Today he is at the height of his career - making some of the most realistic and biologically accurate compositions ever attempted in glass.\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eA hyper-realistic scene featuring a large Ecuadorian Blue Tarantula inching its way over a moss covered naturalistic setting with lichen covered stones and an upright red ginger on mottled sand ground.\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eEvery detail in this work is crafted by using a torch, colored glass rods and fine metal instruments. Take for instance the hairy body of the tarantula, each hair is individually fashions and then painstakingly applied creating the fuzzy lifelike texture.  Few artists posses the skill, dedication and patients required to achieve such realism in a glass paperweight.\u003c\/h1\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49384332689624,"sku":"GS1390","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1125\/5492\/files\/3391205E-4689-4533-9557-DBFDD73F1E23.png?v=1728505336","url":"https:\/\/www.thepaperweightcollection.com\/zh\/products\/gordon-smith-2012-glass-art-paperweight-flamework-ecuadorian-blue-tarantula-spider","provider":"The Paperweight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
