These glass sculptures are designed and created by Luke Jerram, and are on exhibition in London at the end of the month. Luke also has a number of other creations, including a candle which puts itself out automatically (to cut short lengthy dinner parties), a talking engagement ring, and a wedding ring with inbuilt projector!
