Planets And Galaxies Trapped In Tiny Glass Pendants By Japanese Artist

Glass artist Satoshi Tomizu sculpts small glass spheres that appear to contain entire solar systems and galaxies. Planets made of opals, flecks of real gold, and trails of colored glass seem to spin and loop like twists in the Milky Way. While photographed here in a macro view, the pieces are actually quite small and include a small glass loop so each piece can be turned into a pendant. Tomizu’s glass work recently won a Atelier Nova Design Award and appeared at the Handmade in Japan Festival.
