hi all,

    i'm new here- just joined. not sure if i'm posting correctly or not! 

    on the subject of insects as art, someone commissioned me to set 3
    preserved scarabs in a silver brooch back in the 80's. they looked
    really nice when it was finished, but it did feel a bit "creepy"
    doing it!. i remember being very worried the scarabs would
    disintegrate under my heavy-handed setting techniques but they proved
    to be surprisingly resilient! 

    unfortunately i wasnt in the habit of taking photos of my work then
    (way pre-the ease of digital cameras!) 

    hope this post somehow ends up in the right plac!
