Bee Cause

This is a commissioned piece.  Almost finished.  Still have a few things to work out on it.  The Flower is painted on cloth and appliqued onto the background.  The body of the bee is machine embroidered using free motion zigzag.  I don't have an embroidery machine.  The wings are made from iridescent lame fabric.   The subject of the painting is from a photo I took at one of our pleine air painting sites.
