Started a while ago for a class sample, dug out and enhanced with more flowers for the Maven's.
Flowers are made from torn, knotted or stitched scraps of batik fabric.
To make the skep, I drew out the shape, cut it into 5 sections. I free hand cut skinny strips of batik and stitched and flipped them onto muslin. Using the 5 sections as a pattern I cut my shapes out the stitch and flipped muslin and sewed them together.
The bees are needle felted
Bee trails are stitched in using metallic thread.
