Thank You notecards

Darling little Thank You notecards from Cate Anevski. What a way to bee thankful right? (I know, but I just had too)!

Strawberry and Bee ornament


I am forever amazed and delighted by the constant and refreshing designs of Kathleen Lolley. Here, a sweet strawberry ornament to grace your home with a little festivity (and a little bee inside and outside too)!

Book of Hours

I've loved Jessica Marquez's work, Miniature Rhino for awhile and it's my pleasure to present 'Book of Hours' here on Bee Haunting. I love the inspiration behind the piece:

Inspired by the idea of a forget me not, a physical object that recalls a person, I made this detailed piece about remembrance. The imagery: diamond, bee, honeycomb, and knotted bow, directly relate to a quote from the book Metaphors of Memory: A history of ideas about the mind by D. Draaism. The quote below is typed on a crème paper and adhered to the reverse of the piece with photo corners....

"In books of hours miniaturists drew jewels, coins, flowers and beehives. Valuables collected like nectar from flowers to be stored in the honeycombs of our memory.
-D. Draaisma"

Beautiful and brilliant.
