The wonderful colors of beetles have always amazed me, and I had surprisingly few problems coming up with a beetle for each color of the rainbow here! This piece was inspired by the anonymous quotation “Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.” This collection will allow you to keep a piece of Nature's rainbow in your home!
I made the checkered background for this piece by weaving together hand-torn strips of artist paper. Framed checkerboard area measures 12x12". Black wooden "shadowbox" style frame measures 15.5" square from edge to edge. Entire piece is about an inch deep and comes ready to hang on your wall. A sheet of glass protects the beetles (it was removed here for photography). There is a key on the back of the piece that tells each beetle species and countries of origin. The piece is also signed on the back.
For delivery within the United States, this piece will be "Professionally Packaged and Shipped" by UPS, which means that UPS is responsible for packing the piece, and they therefore assume all responsibility for its safety during transport. If anything is damaged in shipping, UPS will guarantee the entire purchase price plus shipping.
For international delivery, I must use the US Postal Service. Insurance and tracking will be included here as well, but it is harder to process international claims through the USPS. Because of that, I do prefer to ship this piece within the United States only, but will do my best for International buyers.
