These bee-utiful delights (sorry, i had to!) come from the artistry of Tammy Stellanova. Her shop includes an assortment of sterling cameos featuring her own animal and botanical illustrations.


Declines in the health and population of pollinators in North America and globally pose what could be a significant threat to the integrity of biodiversity, to global food webs, and to human health. A number of pollinator species are at risk.
At least 80% of our world's crop plant species require pollination. Estimates as high as 1 out of every 3rd bite of food comes to us through the work of animal pollinators. Birds, bees, butterflies, and also bats, beetles and even mosquitos are among the myriad creatures which transfer pollen between seed plants. This function is vital for plant reproduction and food production.

How amazing is this beautifully worked beaded bee pin from walrus tusk?! Made with vintage glass beads on leather, I particulary like that it has a simple yet rustic look and feel.
