Did you know that beetle wings used to be sewn onto dresses? Like, hundreds of them on each dress? It's equally creepy and beautiful.

oh my stars, anyone have pictures?

foreverafaller-deactivated20190

Something like this I believe!

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

that’s one of the famous ones, a Lady Macbeth stage costume from 1888. apparently it wasn’t uncommon in victorian fashion:

we should bring embroidery like this back (but w/ imitation wings). we should all be walking around with beads & wings, clanging

foreverafaller-deactivated20190

Bring this back in 2019

OH MY BEETLEJUICE

hotlikesriracha

To everyone in the comments- No, the beetles aren’t killed for their wings. These jewel beetles have short adult lives (2-3 weeks) and the wing casings are harvested after their death to ensure their conservation.

The Victorians did not invent beetlewing art. This species of beetle is indigenous to South and South East Asia where beetle wing art actually originated. Thailand, India, Myanmar, China, and Japan all practiced beetlewing art before the Victorians. Most notably, they have been used for centuries in clothing and art in the Thai royal court. Queen Sirikit has promoted beetlewing art in an effort to revive Thailand’s art and cultural history. Queen Sirikit has also forbidden the harvesting of the wing casings prior to the beetle’s death to protect them.

Unfortunately, it is hard to find old Thai art online but here are a couple of examples.

(Date and artist unknown. Thailand.)

(René Mancini, 1980.) Belongs to Queen Sirikit.

Heck yeah I love beetlewing embroidery! I’d like to try it someday! You can buy the wing cases by the hundred on etsy.

X-rays from one of the first series of X-rays ever produced, by Josef Maria Eder (1855–1944) and Eduard Valenta (1857–1937), both from Austria. The 1896 portfolio contains a total of fifteen images, including, in addition to the skeletal forms of animals and human limbs, X-rays of carved cameos and an assortment of various materials such as metal, wood, glass, and meat. If the images are striking today they must have been doubly so when first published, only a few weeks after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen made his discovery of X-rays public with his groundbreaking paper “On a New Kind of Ray”. More here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/early-experiments-with-x-rays-1896/ And buy some of the images as prints from our shop here: https://publicdomainreview.org/product-att/artist/josef-maria-eder-and-eduard-valenta/

Working on some colorful dance costume dye samples.
