New Jersey-based artist Paul J. Stankard has created a collection of glass paperweights inspired by nature.
Flowers, leaves and bees were encased in the glass orbs to preserve their beauty.
Stankard stated on his website that his “work, which is influenced by the poetry of Walt Whitman celebrates the primal beauty of nature on an intimate level”.
