Josh Simpson's Megaplanet Paperweight!! click picture to enlarge Incredible and intricate are the best ways to describle the wonderful planets from Josh Simpson. This Megaplanet is 3 1/2" tall, 3 1/2" wide, and weighs 2 lbs., 2 oz. Signed Simpson 2.46.8 and includes a small brochure about the artist. Josh Simpson likes to pack planets with more information than the naked eye can possibly see. A Planet begins with a small glob of glass heated in a furnace to 2100 F and gathered on the end of the blowpipe. Silver is melted onto the hot surface, and after reheating, Josh then adds powered glass, glass canes and sometimes gold or platinum leaf which becomes the planet's cities, mountains, volcanos, tornadoes or satellite launching areas. Josh gathers multiple layers of clear glass over the Planet and adds spaceships. The Planet is then ready to be shaped in a wet wooden block. When the shape is perfect the little world is taken off the blowpipe and put into the annealing oven where it will cool down slowly. click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge Seller prefers paypal, will accept money orders, cashiers and personal checks, shipping delayed on personal for clearing purposes.
