This piece is called Blooming Within — crafted from a Buddha nut pod cradling an arrangement of dried and preserved flowers in soft, neutral hues. It’s as if these delicate blooms are quietly bursting from the hard shell, a poetic contrast of strength and gentleness.
A little backstory: I found these Buddha nut pods at a weekend market in Europe a few years ago. The moment I saw them, I knew I wanted to turn them into a home décor piece… but I left them untouched for the longest time. 😅 So much procrastination for something so small!
But creativity doesn’t always arrive on schedule. Sometimes it takes time—and sometimes, time brings you exactly what you need. Blooming Within is a reminder of that: it’s not always about how quickly you begin, but how beautifully things can unfold in the end.
Only one of these has been made, and it’s now available on my website! Let me know if it calls out to you 🌿
