Mixed Media Monday’s challenge for this week is nature. Since finding out I have honey bees in my walls, I’ve wanted to honor them before they are relocated in March. The elements fell together while I was straightening up my house this week. I hope to use it as a focal point on a large piece, perhaps a house shrine of sorts.
I had the ceramic house and roof for another uncompleted mosaic project. Parental unit brought me glorious papers from her birthday trip and the honeycombed nests (from paper wasps) are from my deck tear down project. I just liked the look of the baby doll arms holding up the nest; I didn’t recognize them as trees till I had it all together. It was very difficult to photograph, it’s not this dark and dingy in person. Thanks Mixed Media Monday! loved this challenge.




This is really wonderful. I like bees myself in design but can see where they need a new home in your case!
The doll arms really worked, didn’t see them at first, just trees!
This is gorgeous! I really love the honeycombed nests!
Oh wow this is really unique.
Wonderful design. Love them.
