This whimsical dragonfly is hand embroidered on organic calico using golden threads and decorated with tiny brass and 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 patterns of this golden beetle. Padded from behind this forms the slim body of the creature, it is then mounted in a box frame with a fun archivist Latin description denoting the genus of the beastie!
A cabinet of curiosities full of strange specimens and worldly objects must have been truly fascinating!
Please note the frames are intentionally not perfectly finished to give a rustic effect and might contain minor indents or marks.
