Been working on a few items and this is one of the items that I'll be releasing soon. Hope everyone's been having a great new year so far!

The common english name of Bombus hypnorum is the Tree Bee, it's a recent colonist to the UK from France and has been nicknamed 'Le Bee'. The combination of ginger thorax and black and white halved abdomen are instantly recognisable. The first record in Britain was as recently as 2001 in nearby West Wellow in Hampshire.
Foiled up and ready for solder...hopefully tomorrow
The oval parts next to him are lily pads that weren't showing up in the other pics due to the darkness of both glasses.
I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!
I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.
After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.
I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.
This is one sample.
work in progress. Insallation. Planning to make HEAPS of these botanical paper forms. The are dipped in wax and are attached to wire.
Progress on a WIP that's actually been sitting around for a while. Don't worry, I'm working on my next BioCup2018 entry too!
