Description
This box is painted with love and pigmented beeswax. It is signed by myself, the artist. A note of special meaning should be placed within it. Please let me know and I will add this note to be preserved in the beeswax and rolled up with a raffia tie.
Beeswax has everlasting archival properties. It is resistant to mold, mildew and moisture. The Egyptians used it to create timeless Fayum (Funeral)portraits over 2000 years ago. In the 1st to 3rd centuries AD the ancient Greek shipbuilders used beeswax to protect their ship's wood from sea water.
Honeybees are known to have spiritual meaning since the beginning of time.
Bees are responsible for 30% of our worlds crops. Without them our world would perish within 4 years.
Their wax is to be honoured and the message within valued because of this.
The cost of this original hand painted box is $36.00 (email me if you are interested)
Shipping is extra
