Well, the honey bees were deemed to be unsuitable for animation purposes - too large (!) and not very cuddly, so I had to try again with bumble bees this time. Who knew bees could cause such a headache! I tried and tried to get them smaller, but stripes and small don't go together, even when embroidered on to plain black knitting. We eventually reached a compromise with these bees which are just under an inch long yet still have all the required detail.
Having spent three evenings on bees, I feel drained! Time to give my eyes and hands a break and make something slightly larger...

Bummer! Sounds like one of those impossible jobs to me. The bees look fab. Hugs. xo
And not even a pot of honey to show for it all! These bumble bees look very friendly and happy little things, I like the way you photographed them against painted flowers!
So cute though! I hope you are talking to them nicely.
