ART MUSE-INGS: Bees- day 3
http://housefiber.blogspot.com/2011/04/bees-day-3.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. I had to open the hives this morning to check the feeders and refill them. I was not sure at all what to expect. I must say, I was very surprised at how placid the bees were. When I removed the feeders, some bees were on them, but all I had to do was brush them carefully away. You can see the queen cage on the left half of the picture. Next time I open the hive, I will have to smoke the bees (and try not to fry them! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

ART MUSE-INGS: April 2011
http://housefiber.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. I have now had my two hives for just over two weeks and I had to open them and check that things were going OK. First thing to note, I have NOT mastered the use of the smoker! But even without smoke, I could look into the hives and move the frames around:. I wish I could have taken pictures of what I saw, but it is kind of tricky to hold a frame covered with bees in one hand and hold the camera to take a picture with the other. It would not be a good idea to drop that frame!

ART MUSE-INGS: February 2010
http://housefiber.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. I keep making progress on the new box, which is a good feeling. I am very pleased with the chartreuse color of this fabric. I had only a very small piece of that. I dyed more and I think I nailed it! Now on to the other element. Each little piece was cool but put together it looks like a "piggy round table", doesn't it? Monday, February 1, 2010.

Wednesday, February 8, 2012. New box, new exhibit. I just finished my newest box, Victorian Roses, in time to send it to the "In Bloom" exhibit at the Jacqueline Casey Hudgens Center for the Arts in Duluth, GA. The box does not contain a necklace but a journal and a pen. There is a small compartment inside the lid to keep "secrets". (I only have a couple of snapshots! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, February 26, 2011. I had the urge to go back in the studio a few weeks ago and to make a three-dimensional character. He grew and developed his personality as I worked. Considering the time of year and the material I used, I decided to call him Awakening. He was fun to make and I do like him. Thursday, February 24, 2011. Once the frame is nailed together, the bottom little slat is sliced off. The slat is nailed with 3 little nails. There is not much room and I was afraid to break the wax...
