Kyiv-based artist Nikita Drachuk (beforehand) is behind a fragile menagerie of translucent octopuses, striped spiders, and mottled slugs exquisitely crafted in glass. Elaborately formed with curling tentacles and segmented legs, the miniature creatures are the product of lampworking, which includes melting the colourful materials with a lamp or torch. Drachuk works underneath the moniker Glass Symphony and has a whole bunch of items out there on Etsy.
