Each tile in this frame is cut and set by hand — indigo-dyed bone pieces arranged in a honeycomb mosaic across a dark-edged ground. The variation in tone across the field is not incidental; it is the nature of the material, each piece absorbing dye differently and settling into its own shade of blue. The frame holds a 5x7 photograph and stands freestanding on a built-in easel back, suited equally to a bedside surface or a shelved vignette.

Because each frame is assembled by hand, the depth of the indigo and the exact arrangement of the bone tiles will vary slightly from piece to piece.

HIVE HOLDS THE PHOTO

The frame that asks to be picked up and looked at

It sits on the nightstand beside a candle, the blue tiles catching the light differently each time you glance over. The photo inside matters — but so does what surrounds it.
