Sculpted Wall Art by Simon

Honey Bee is created from hand dyed antique plush in bright gold with airbrushed markings.

Her wings are made from antique lace and gold thread.

This bee sculpture is set on a antique silk textile with embroidered pink and mauve flowers.

This is repurposed antique textile from fragments of a silk fringed piano shawl.

These sculpted wall art designs are in original vintage frames

which Simon has converted into box frames using convex glass.

We have tried to give the appearance of a curious old display case from a natural history museum.

HONEY BEE

We have created a Edition of 3 Honey Bees
in the round frames with the same antique textile in this design.

We are making more Bees on different backgrounds to add to the range of our previous

sculpted wall art in Sun,Moon and Heart designs.
