Bee Friends Sunflower


My granddad was a beekeeper and told me stories about the bees when I was a kid.  He used to lecture at the local Agricultural College on bees.   Even up until recently I used to go amongst bees in the garden and they would just carry on around me.
For a great read, find the novel: "Remember Me" by Charity Norman to see how amazing they are.

Soft yellow panel embossed.  Sunflower stamped onto a scrap of ink smooshed card and fussy cut with a bit of Copic marker shadow colouring, gold metallic pen stamen dots.  The sentiment is matted onto black card to show up the sentiment.  A diecut bee with vellum wings ( from my BitzBox) visiting the flower.
