From things bird to things bee -
aviary to apiary!
I have created eight beekeeper dolls to date - each is unique - but of the same order. The Order of Loyal Keepers of the Bee. Something much needed. This is one I made about 1998...the most recent Beekeeper doll I made this year as a commissioned piece for an actual beekeeper. I will post pictures of it soon. The Beekeepers stand about 8" tall, and the netted hats are removeable and reveal that the head is somewhat like a hive.

Good to see the beekeeper as well.

Thank you...this one was the sixth of the Loyal Order of Beekeepers, I believe. I made the eighth this year and hope to post a picture or two of it soon.

Suggestion: make a honeybee like your sea turtles! I love bees... :)

Hi Jem, thank you for visiting my blog! I usually have many projects in progress at any given time...I do have 3 bees that I started about a year ago and hope to finish before 2011. One of them is a glass beaded bee and the other two are fabric bees of yellow and black striped woven African fabric with white transparent wings...best regards, Zhenne
