Enter a creation of a paperweight. Get creative!
Quoted from the Paperweight Collectors Association:
These days, the definition of “paperweight” is becoming even more fluid than it once was, as artists are experimenting with unconventional shapes and different styles of decoration. Paperweights are no longer just spheroidal glass objects, but may be cubes, cylinders, or more organic forms. They may have flowers, lizards, or other elements attached to them. They may be carved, engraved, or include intricately painted scenes. They may have metallic electroplated decorations or may include mineral matter or even funereal ashes. Artists may also borrow techniques from marble makers and jewelry designers, thus blurring lines that may have once been sharper between paperweights and other art forms.
I couldn't say it better myself, but you can see how a paperweight, although it sounds plain and simple, can be quite artistic. You can even specify other things in the room is you want.
