This Guy Melts Glass Rods Into A Loaf That Can Be Sliced To Reveal Something Incredible.


Loren Stump from California has created a“loaf”of glass that, when sliced,reveal a painstakingly detailed work of art in cross-section.

Each ‘loaf’ of glass is created out of carefully layered 
glass rods which the artist calls a ‘murrine.’

His greatest work is called “Madonna of the Rocks,” but all 
of his murrini are incredible works of art and craftsmanship.

The most impressive thing about his work is that the resulting 
image can only be seen in its entirety after the murrini is cut.
