Queen Bee Reliquary

I created this little chipboard reliquary while playing with my stash of Gina's Designs Lasercuts

Although I run like hell and scream like a ninny when one comes near me, I do have a soft spot for bees. Can we talk for a moment about THIS be in particular?

It's all sorts of spectacular. It's big and beautifully detailed. I've dulled up the brassiness of it with a wash or two of dark paint, which also enhances those little details.
