Bumblebee Trio with Morning Glory Miniature Paperweight A168000 Painted with acrylic and oilThis miniature paperweight features a trio of bumblebees encased in crystal glass. A morning glory flower enhances this piece on a sandy ground. The flora and fauna are made by the process of lampworking, which involves the use of a torch to melt colored rods of glass so they may be worked into the shapes and designs desired. After the elements are made, they are assembled together in a composition to reflect the environment Smith wants to create.
