I Have Always Been Fascinated By Glassblowing,

even more so in miniature ribbon-striped vases,

 the skill of making the ribbons has to be seen to be believed,

so take a look at the work of master craftsman Kiva Ford who draws from his vast experience in scientific glassblowing to create perfect miniatures of wine glasses, beakers, and ribbon-striped vases, some scarcely an inch tall,

Kiva creates instruments for scientists who require one-of-a-kind designs for various experiments, the same techniques and tools used for scientific equipment also apply to his artistic practise including the miniature works you see here,

if you want to see how these incredible miniatures are made, just click on to the video, fascinating indeed.
