FAREWELL SWEET HONEYBEE This post will be brief & honest. Honeybee must sadly close it’s doors. Unfortunately we didn’t get the support we needed – it’s as simple & plain as that. No fancy excuses. Thank you a million times over for those who did support us & this beautiful little dream. I’ll greatly miss the little ones who came to create in our beautiful space. Perhaps Honeybee will return when her time is right. Until then … much love & big creative dreams. ox. A~
I like to think of Honeybee’s handwork projects akin to that of a great organic restaurant that determines it’s days menu based on what was freshest at the market that morning. Rather than a seemingly endless selection of options, I have a small refined selection that will always be changing, always shifting. Simple & thoughtful. I source unique, natural materials from many different places, while repurposing and giving new life to old textiles whenever possible. Because of this perhaps a wonderful slate grey knit fabric you used to create one project, may never be found again or used in a similar way by another. Your project has an added element of uniqueness that makes it entirely yours. I like that.
Elements & little details. I love the secret hideaway feeling of the studio. A hidden gem. You don’t really expect the studio to look as it does as you walk into the building and up the stairs. It’s worth coming to take a peek for yourself. Truly. ox.
What is one of my favourite projects in studio right now? I think it has to be any creation that involves our organic botanicals & herbs. Honeybee has Lavender, Jasmine, Rose, Chamomile and so many more beautiful healing herbs to make a custom blend for you or for someone else. Each botanical has a history, mythology and folklore; some represent love and relaxation, others prosperity and protection. Imagine a studio visit to support and say hello, a hot cup of tea and a wonderful time selecting just the right combination of herbs to create a custom Dream Pillow or Infusion for someone on your Christmas list. I do hope to see you soon! ox.
First they selected their color palettes, then watched as the color came to life on the paper. Watercolor painting can be kind of magic. I am a huge fan of children’s abstract watercolor art pieces — I love seeing the results of them exploring color, movement & texture on the paper. |
