Bee Busy!
By Samantha Read
The only problem with these
embellishments is that there are so many
ways I could have used them, making
my decision difficult! Eventually I decided
vertical and tropical was the way to go. I
applied some texture sand paste to the
hexagon pieces before painting them and
as the spaces are so playful I went on
a ‘find the cutest bee stamps’ shopping
hunt and the bees from this Woodware
set just happened to fit perfectly. I hadn’t
used shrink plastic for a while and found
out by accident that Posca pens work
very well on this very smooth surface.3D Challenge
