Each year, Lilydale Show has a theme. Last year it was bees. So I studied bees, their hives, their lives - they are fascinating little critters - and I set to work to create Liquid Gold. I wanted metallics, glitter, crystals. I wanted it to be subtle, but with my penchant for sparkle! I do love some sparkle.
Fabric was painted with metallic paints for the honeycomb, assorted tulles, laces and any glittery fabrics I could find were auditioned. A black background seemed harsh, so a golden lace was overlaid. Next came the honeycomb.
The queen, the largest of them was positioned followed by the drones and the smaller worker bees.
Flower layouts were trialled.
And then it was done!

I would love to hear from you, just so I know I am not talking to myself - the cat is tired and so is the dog!
