Long-horned Bee Embroidered Artwork

Handcrafted Tasmanian Oak wood shadow box frame with Artglass AR70 and engraved brass label. Materials used in the mounting of the piece are of archival/conservation quality - Alpharag ARTCARE Archival Matboard, Alpharag ARTCARE Archival Foamboard, linen lacing thread, frame points, Ph7-70 Acid Neutral Double Sided Conservation ATG Tape, Lineco Archival Quality Frame Backing Paper and Lineco Archival Quality Frame Sealing Tape.

This frame has hanging wire and bumpers on the back so it can hang from a wall or due to the depth of the frame it can sit on a flat surface such as a desk, shelf or mantel.

The delicate stumpwork/embroidery insects should not be removed from the display frame. Everything has been carefully placed and sealed in the frame in a specific manner so to undo it all is to damage the conservation/archival quality of the framing.

Artglass AR70 is scratch resistant and easy to clean with a microfibre cloth and glass cleaner by Groglass. However wiping down with a soft microfibre cloth should suffice. To protect the frame and the artwork, do not spray any liquids directly onto glass.

Please, handle with care when hanging/placing/storing your artwork, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity and water. These pieces are happiest out of direct sunlight. High quality materials, acid free paper and adhesives and UV resistant glass have been used in the creating and framing of this piece however fading may occur and materials compromised in direct light. Also avoid hanging, placing or storing the artwork in in areas of high humidity, where water damage may occur or above open fireplaces or places in direct proximity to heating as damage from smoke and excess heat may occur.

Please note that this is not a toy. It is not suitable for children. 

All artworks will be beautifully gift wrapped and securely packaged.
