 #543 Wild Hive

A beautiful, unique mixed media piece created from a vintage wooden weaving shuttle. !t has a lovely aged patina. The mill name, symbol and Burnley are stamped at the top of the shuttle. The pirn has 'Bowling Mills (Nelson) Ltd.' printed on it. The shuttle measures 36cm long, 5cm wide and 4.5cm 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.
