Price: Upon Request. I would very much like to see this on display in a museum.
History: In the summer of 1999, a wasp colony took refuge in our
garden shed.
In order to make room for their ever-expanding nest, they chewed this folded
garbage bag.
It was not until the bag was opened . . . that the incredible artistic
precision of "star" and "snowman-like" cut-outs was
noticed.
An accidental work of nature surely never to be duplicated.
