Yasuaki Onishi’s Hot Glue Art

Hot glue guns are beloved by many makers as the secret weapon for rapid project completion–especially when you can’t find the right hardware.

Yasuaki Onishi, on the other hand, makes hot glue his medium, dribbling it off of wire grids and tree branches to form intricate and diaphanous works of art, with urea crystals embedded in the glue for extra sparkle. Apparently he ordinarily uses black glue sticks — I didn’t even know such a thing existed! [via Wired Design]
