I crack myself up……..
Ahem. Five more bees were made–well, 6 actually, but 1 screwed up, as always happens, even when you’re on a roll. And all 7 then, big and small, will be on the finished Thing.

A good day.
I’m thinking i MIGHT after all be able to do the 3d form as well—-on “breaks” from the machine, i started scribbling more notes, completely different from the original plan. It’s do-able IF i stick to the timeline i have marked out for the Thing above.
I ain’t holding my breath, but………stranger things have happened, as my Momma always says.

Those bees are obscenely beautiful – can’t quite see how you made the sparkles, is it couched thread? (Don’t feel you have to give away any trade secrets!
)

Mei-Ling, it’s a metallic copper, a thread by Gutterman (though no longer available!)–i use anything metallic or heavier than a standard sewing thread in my bobbin.
