Jacaranda mimosifolia

Miniature made of Lapis lazuli, Chrysocolla and golden wire.

Brazilian handicraft.

 

Once, while going for a dangerous walk around the Sunday market in Praça da República, São Paulo, Brazil, I saw a young couple working by hand miniatures of distinctive Brazilian trees made of golden wire and precious stones.

I fell under the spell of those outstanding

tiny artworks so much that I bought the whole collection on the stand.
