Bumblebee update (PRICE REDUCTION) - I have revised the listing to include new size guidelines. From now on I will be going on approximate wingspan to determine size category: (Sold out) XL Queen 5cm+ (very rare) (Sold out) XL 4cm-5cm Large 3.5cm-4.5cm Regular - 3cm-3.5cm Small - 2cm-3cm · This means I have been able to add new 'small' bumbles, priced at just £45 each, less than half price of the XL bumbles. They come in a smaller frame, but otherwise have all the same cuteness and the 24ct wings. If anything these are harder work, so the numbers I have will be very limited. Order yours asap to be included in the batch I'm currently working on (ships in the next 10 days). #bumblebee #bee #nature #wildlife #art #gold #fineart #minimalism #contemporary — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/lDKbnhr

I need a bride. For a secret project. Details I can share: I'm looking for EITHER an alternative model size 8, or someone (any dress size) who would be happy to bring and wear their own wedding dress for a day. Date & location tbc but likely end of summer in Norfolk. Please note this will likely be unpaid, I can offer a gold bee and a few other perks but beyond that I am operating on a nearly non-existent budget. · Go to my Threads profile to submit your pics.

Smudge in the sunshine. It's not looking good, I think we're in the end days now. She has been off her food and sleeping a lot more, she wobbles when she walks and there's other stuff too. I am giving her extra treats and mashing her food up with water so it's easier to eat. Everything I can. I was out working all weekend so didn't get time to spend with her. Today we had tea in the morning sunshine though, and as I cried she came and headbutted my leg, and just left her head there resting aginst me. Never has an animal so clearly communicated to me that it's okay. I hoped we would have a little longer than this. I will give her as long as she wants, but when she tells me she's ready I will be there too. · I don't know how to sign this off. Please don't DM me about it. I'm on the edge enough as it is without being overwhelmed with messages. I wont be replying to DMs at all for a while. #cat #rescuecat #adoptdontshop — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/jRxHp1C

Leeds Festival of Gothica - I'm in Zone 2 again. At uni there was this huge northerner/southerner divide, and I was nervous af about going up this far away from my beloved Norfolk. But MY GOODNESS northern folks are a delight. So friendly, and absolutely nuts. The amount of lovely and unhinged conversations I had was astounding. 10/10 market experience. Cannot wait to be back. #art #artist #art #artisan #artwork #artforsale #artofinstagram #artistsoninstagram — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/1PSzNsA
