In one of my first orders of Vintaj supplies I picked up a pack of Queen Bee Connectors and some Busy Bee Charms. I'm not sure why I bought them, just because I thought they were cute I guess, and they've been sitting in my stash for a while. Now they languish no more!
Also in my stash was a ceramic bee pendant from Kylie Parry. In the process of making a necklace with that piece (and getting a little "stuck" on that one) I ended up making this super cute set of Honey Bee Earrings. I love the way these yellow beads that I picked up on a whim look a little like honey comb and a little bit like bee hives!
Next came the matching Honey Bee Necklace. I added some fun new clear yellow teardrop shaped beads above the bee connectors so that I could do just one strand of chain around the back of the necklace. In a pleasant surprise, these links look like pollen that these busy bees have collected!
After these two projects were done, I finally went back to the necklace that I had originally meant to make with renewed inspiration. It's funny how "productive procrastination" often works out for me. So here is my last bee piece...for now anyway!
