{"product_id":"carabus-intricatus","title":"Carabus Intricatus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Ground Beetle, Carabus Intricatus, is one of Britain’s rarest beetles, found in only a handful of locations in Southwest England. Three years in the making, KT's sculpture began with close observation and research into the beetle's anatomy, textures and metallic blue colouring. Combining hot glass, kilnforming, lampworking and coldworking, she recreated its sculpted form and textured dichroic armour. By enlarging the beetle, details normally visible only under magnification become impossible to ignore. The contrast between glass's fragility and strength mirrors the beetle's own vulnerability, drawing attention to the decline of this extraordinary species and the fragile habitats it depends upon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFreeblown, fused, hotsculpted, flameworked, and coldworked glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eH30 x W30 x D27cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KT Yun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57716417266037,"sku":"KTY26-01","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/5442\/files\/CarabusIntricatus-KT-Yun-1.jpg?v=1793712633","url":"https:\/\/londonglassblowing.co.uk\/products\/carabus-intricatus","provider":"London Glassblowing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
