Description
This beetle is completely stitched by hand. Its body is hand dyed woollen felt, stuffed with pure wool. Its wing covers (elytra!) are stitched with vintage cotton threads over silk organza and canvas fabric. Under the elytra are delicate wings in gold silk organza edged with tiny buttonhole stitches. The antenna and legs are wire, hand wound with cotton threads. It is embellished over its thorax with cotton and silk threads. Many careful hours of stitching went into creating this beetle.
The beetles are designed as delightful shelf ornaments. They contain wires and delicate fabrics that make them completely unsuitable as toys.
All of my beetles include free worldwide shipping. For international orders this is untracked/uninsured. Contact me if you would like to upgrade your shipping!
