'Busy Bees'

After weeks of planning, working through, sketching, sampling and making, I have finally finished 'Busy Bees' a foxglove piece with bumble bees busy at work and feeding from the flowers. I am really happy with the finished piece, though I can say for sure that I will never make another textile, three dimensional foxglove again! I have been wanting to make one for a year, but couldn't quite work out how to make one just like the real flower. One night whilst trying to go to sleep I worked it out, finally... the next morning I started making the flowers. Oh what a nightmare!!! making numerous fiddly flowers, so time consuming.
