The Bee Hive

Inspiration for this piece came when we found a bee hive.  The structure of the tessellating hexagons was fascinating.  My hexagons were made with hand dyed fabric, edge turned, zig-zagged together and heavily stitched.

Extra batting was added behind the hive to give more dimension.  The trees and leaves were made from silk fibers and threads.
