I have been somewhat obsessed with hexagons lately so for Structure I thought I would feature one of natures amazing builders. (Bees do build hives which is a "Structure" right) These industrious creatures not only produce yummy honey but are integral to our food production. So I decided to give my salute to bees some added colour. First I selected a piece of fabric I ice dyed this summer with my friend Gladys.
I cut the hexagons from this lovely fabric. The bee is a copy right free image I enlarged and printed onto TAP transfer artists paper then transferred the image onto white fabric. Once the image was transferred I thread painted it and added dimensional wings to it.
Karrie, this is absolutely stupendous! Bees and honey are so very important to all of us - you paid great homage to them and their work. And your work continues to impress too! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Karrie!
