#598 Wild Hive

 #598 Wild Hive

A beautiful, unique mixed media piece created from a vintage wooden weaving shuttle. This is quite an old shuttle, it has a lovely aged patina. The pirn is stamped with the words 'HOLYBROOK MILLS GREENGATES JAN 1949'. The shuttle measures 34cm long, 4cm wide and 4cm deep. 

I stitched the little honey bees from thread, felt and wire. The honeycomb is made from paper and filled with honey coloured resin.

The piece is signed on the back, there is a small triangular ring so that it can be hung on the wall if you wish. UK postage and packaging is free.
