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.

There's been a lot of interest in this piece lately, so I thought I'd show where I'm at with it currently. About 200 hours so far, a little more than 50% finished.

WIP

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.

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!

One of my favourite flowers. The bright overcast light, wide aperture and ultra long focal length all contribute to the slightly painterly look.

In the process of fitting a new bathroom suite, just doing some prep before the first fix. (I know, I know, I'm a messy bugger)

The Neoframe has some fun posing options at this point. We'll see how I end up building the armor and head and all that...most of the hard parts are done.
