Glowing Spine Worm

Laura Harris created this giant glowing spine worm for an art installation. The finished piece is very reminiscent of the otherworldly creatures in "From Beyond". She doesn't include any buildup information in the Flickr gallery, but I think it was made using electroluminescent wire, hot glue, and clear acrylic spars.

    Hi, this is Laura. You guessed correctly about the materials. Lots of hot-melt applied while the EL wire and spines were held in a jig. It's nice to see her on your blog :)
