Ok I haven't really been a busy bee, but it works with what I have made this week. I was going to just post a little teaser, but I ended up actually finishing it.
So this was the original teaser I was going to post, hence the title of the post. I got some new distress ink pads and, coupled with the Rare Earth insect stamps, it gave me an idea. I decided on a tag as a base, inking with various yellow and orange distress inks, and stamping with a dotted background and script stamp in brown. After finishing the background I cut out a globe in black and put it on there. I then got some wooden hexagonal shapes and coated them with distressed embossing powder. I made some honeycombs on the tag, then stamped some bees and coloured them with distress crayons, and Glossy Accented the wings. Finally I added a circular metal tag, and some metal things on the corners (filigree I think they are called?)
I kind of wanted to illustrate the importance of bees to our planet, especially in terms of the future of the human race.
I also used the pip beads to make some earrings, although they did end up way longer than I thought.
I am now two-thirds of the way through the cross stitch. Here is the update.
Finally, here is a sneak peek of what I am currently in the middle of.
Hopefully I will have finished it by next week! Until then,
Ems
