Inspirational Glass Etching

Several weeks ago while cruising around Pinterest, I happened upon the work of glass artist Andy Paiko. Wow! Nice work. Mostly I love his imagery and the layout of those images that he has etched into his glass vessels. Cycles of the moon, planet symbols, and line-work images of insects and animals, to name a few.

But I  am also inspired by the juxtaposition of the clear glass to the bone, coral, etc that he puts inside the vessels. It seems scientific, mysterious and precious all at the same time. Perhaps a message about our evolution?
