Jeweled Bee Alchemy

Probably the most literally depicted piece yet in the "bee" series, which is dedicated to Jasper and I. Gefeliciteerd Jasper met jouw verjaardag! (In Dutch it is common to "congratulate" someone on certain happy occasions.) I think this piece kind of has old world/old botanical illustration vibes. Also definitely a "Delft Blue ceramics" style reference, I didn't look at any image refs for this but I had some ideas in my mind from when I'd last seen them.
