Sweetheart Petal Locket perched between dusk and dawn

perched between dusk and dawn

translucent limbs evoke a sense of liveliness

Inspired by the familiar seabirds that dot Australia’s rugged coastlines

while the elegant curves of the body evoke a sense of movement

while the rich marbled patterning captures the fading light of the horizon

Sweetheart Petal Locket perched between dusk and dawnThis art glass paperweight features a sculpted blush pink rose formed entirely from molten glass and encased within a crystal clear heart. Each petal is individually shaped by hand while the glass is heated to extreme temperatures, then carefully layered to create depth, movement, and natural realism. The rose is not preserved or inserted, it is built from colored glass itself and fused seamlessly into the clear body during the glassmaking process.
