No. 09 – Desert Bloom | Miniature Worlds Paperweight

A bazaar of beautiful things, held in time.

At the center of this piece rests a resinized golden-yellow leaf — a pressed relic of autumn, overlaid with a delicate gold filigree tree-of-life charm whose branches reach outward like a blessing. Nestled within the leaf, a dried purple thistle flower adds a wild, untamed softness. Below it, a small teal lotus bead grounds the scene with spiritual intention.

Around this centerpiece, a ring of hand-curated mixed beads orbits like a mala: two chunky teal sea glass rectangles, ornate silver Tibetan barrel beads with etched geometric patterns, a large silver ball bead, a small yellow accent bead, and a richly detailed dark bronze floral oval bead.

All set in near-clear resin splattered with orange paint — spontaneous, expressive, alive. The faceted diamond edges catch light from every angle, making this piece impossible to ignore.
