Hope this link works.... I just love Wes Flemings work and this shows him making a mantis and wasp on blade of grass, what a talent!   :)

I've just enjoyed watching the video. Fabulous indeed and such precision and patience. Thanks for posting the link. I'd never heard of his work before.

I met Wes in 2011 in Seattle when he asked if I wanted to look inside his matchbox.....  ;D

I use his glass bees in my honeycomb sculptures now.

He seems like such a great person, interesting and modest. When he says how he slows his breathing  and settles his core to stop his hands shaking to do details , I now always think of this when I'm trying to focus. I'd love to own one of his pieces ! :)

Yep - I thought I'd run out of smug, but there was just enough left at the bottom of the smug-jar for this post.    :)
I'll shut up about it now (yea, right....  ::))
