Get your entomologist friend to tell you what dirt daubers (potter wasps) eat and provide them with plenty of food and pottery clay in an enclosure.
Do this a bunch of times until they and their offspring cover the outside of a wax vase with a clay bottom.
Now glaze and fire the resulting pot.
Now
for the multicolored construction paper hornet's nest.
Ugly?

I once saw a bronzed paper wasps' nest. It wouldn't necessarily be godawful ugly. |

Make the wax blank closed at the top, and saw off the top when it's done. |

If you used this as a receptacle in which
to store your glass eye, and the vessel
was after all determined to be of some
degree of aesthetic merit, could you
say:
Beauty is in the bee-holder of the eye? |
