Hand Embroidered Beetles

These beetles are hand embroidered on organic calico using golden threads and decorated with tiny brass and coloured glass beads. The frame is a hand made wooden box frame finished in matte black. Hundreds of tiny glass beads and intricate layers of sequins applied with tremendous skill ...and patience.. map out the colours and various patterns of the super glamorous beetle trio. Padded from behind this forms the plum domed bodies of the creatures. It is then mounted in a box frame with a fun archivist Latin description denoting the genus of the beetles. A gentleman's cabinet of curiosities full of strange specimens and worldly objects must have been truly fascinating! Natural history collections are undoubtably very beautiful, inspired we have created our own archive of creatures...but in a kind to nature, Sew Heart Felt way!

Please note the frames are intentionally not perfectly finished to give a rustic effect and might contain minor indents or marks
