Painted Frame with Bees and Oyster Shell on Fabric

If you have not heard about Museum Bees, here's what people are buzzing about:

Trace Mayer uses antique frame fragments from 1860-80 to form charming and interesting shapes. In the center, various ornaments are showcased, the first of which was Napoleon's Bee. What has transpired over the years is a phenomenon anyone and everyone can get excited about and be a part of. Bees have expanded to include many other gems, including other animals, insects, and even personal items such as a medal or a unique family heirloom. Small antique objects are also showcased, including horse brass, pre-Columbian fragments, or small cameos.

Each and every "bee" is priced at $55, except those that feature ornaments from my personal collections, which are $65

Each is a work of art and imperfectly perfect.
