beehive craft collective: January 2014
http://beehivecraftcollective.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 9 January 2014. It Takes a Village. The result: a most adorable window installation in one of the heritage vitrines at the Lister Block (28 James Street N), launching tomorrow as part of the January Art Crawl. The scene is a whimsical wintertime village glowing with colour, warmth and light and nestled in vintage quilts. Above the paper houses made by the Bees (and friends) are suspended thread "scribbles" by Amanda McCavour. Emulating snowflakes falling on the village. Posted by Jen Anisef.

Wednesday, 30 January 2013. Loving Local: Hamilton Arts Awards. One of the things I love about being a member of the Beehive is how all of us have satellite practices/businesses/projects/lives that intersect with various aspects of Hamilton’s arts and cultural community outside of the collective. This keeps me informed about stuff happening around town, and no doubt informs the stuff we do as a group as well. The nomination deadline is coming up on February 22nd. Past winners overwhelmingly attended the ...

Thursday, 14 February 2013. Heart Attacks of the Cute Persuasion. You've been attacked with love! This is what Valentine's Day should be all about. Recognizing the people you love, and finding ways to show it to them. Doesn't matter if you're single, dating, married - whatever.I'll bet my bottom dollar you can find at least one. Last night we snuck out with scissors, string, and tape and attacked our two favorite shops with homemade Valentine's love. White Elephant. White Elephant is also one of the best...

beehive craft collective: October 2012
http://beehivecraftcollective.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 October 2012. Halloween always guarantees a long list of projects. For me, it doesn't make sense without homemade costumes. Now that we have kids, it is even more fun helping them come up with costume ideas and being as resourceful as possible putting them together. My costume had a bit of a twist. Instead of the elegant, princess Cinderella, I chose to be the pre-transformation servant Cinderella. Was a brave man and sported the Jolly Green Giant costume which I thought was appropriate.

beehive craft collective: Abundance!
http://beehivecraftcollective.blogspot.com/2013/09/abundance.html
Wednesday, 4 September 2013. Summer is a busy time for bees, and it's always a busy season for us Bees, too. I always start the season with an ambitious list of things to accomplish, and in the end, have to concede I can only do about 1/4 of what I planned. By late August, the whole vegetable garden, including my patio herb garden, is totally out of control, and I feel a little overwhelmed! I prune the herbs and hang them to dry for later use in cooking, infusions and herbal tea. Posted by Thea Haines.

beehive craft collective: On Fermentation and Failure Part Two
http://beehivecraftcollective.blogspot.com/2013/09/on-fermentation-and-failure-part-two.html
Friday, 20 September 2013. On Fermentation and Failure Part Two. When I initially wrote this post. A year ago, it felt like it would be ages before I got a chance to try my hand at fermented cucumbers again - especially since my failure affected me so heavily. But, as it always does, time flew by before I knew it. Labels: Beehive Craft Collective. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Beehive is a craft and urban homesteading collective. Bound together by a common thread of making things by hand, t...

Thursday, 13 September 2012. It's almost here - Supercrawl. The 'Hive has been busy stitching hexagons, and collecting them from the drop-off points across Hamilton and Toronto. Last night was installation time, and the completed hexagon panels went up on the stretch of the street between 148 and 154 James North to form Modular Beauty. With the help of delicious cranberry-lemon-coconut squares and pear juice from the Mulberry. John Haney and Carey Jernigan are installing a piece called Ghost Barn. Is ins...

Thursday, November 21, 2013. Pulling Strings Profile: Shannon Gerard. Shannon's Plants You Can't Kill. Our talk and workshop with Shannon Gerard is only a few sleeps away! To tide you over until then, we've asked Shannon to respond to a few questions about her work. Read on to get a window onto Shannon's practice, which meaningfully connects crochet to drawing, research, math and history (among other things! How do you position textiles within the context of your greater art practice? S annual More Than ...
