Brilliant using a separate piece of light paper to collage your bee. Thank you for that suggestion.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MaLiArtworks186]

Love your artwork. If you are their Gardener, they will land on your hand when you are resting. They have done that to me.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you ;) So sweet that they trust you :)

[@suefalls1600]

Beautiful little honey bee! Our lives depend on them! Love ❤️ 💖💖💖💖

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Yes they do Sue. Thank you for watching Sue :)

[@beadpoet]

I LOVE that branchy tissue paper!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Me too! I need some more of it. I will probably just make my own with some rice paper I guess LOL

[@IamRosebud2]

🌺💕🌹 Love the decoupaged tissue idea! Creative and lovely 🌹💕🌺

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@thearoy5061]

Love this! Great choice of a hexagonal canvas for a bee... The shape we associate with honeycomb!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

That is what I was thinking also :) Thanks for watching Thea.

Hello Shel, Love this piece. Thanks for sharing. Have a bee-tiful day!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you! You too Laura :)

[@marilynshriver7015]

I really like seeing how you leave some of the detail of the printed paper showing thru. Learning so much from your videos.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching Marilyn :)

[@ThatOneMKGirl]

I love this. My sons loves ripping paper so I think I’ll try doing this with him!

[@debbieinruskin8563]

Chel, I liked the choice of torn papers. The flower colors are perfect and the honeybee is ultra cool. Octagon canvas is different and that adds to this piece.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thanks so much Debbie :) I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Excellent bee and love the flowers! I really like the background, too. Perfect piece for the season.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you very much Susan :)

[@kaylinfrancis8751]

It's beautiful Shel. I love that you started out with a hexagon shaped background. Love your color choices, and as always, I love it when you paper paint. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe1

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you so much Kaylin :) The hex shape really told me to do a bee. It was fun!

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

I would love to see this on a blanket in the Spring store.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

That would be cool. Sadly the shape of the piece does not lend itself to making products. Also, I sold it really quickly and did not scan it.

I really love this collage.I'm rewatching for inspiration.I need ideas to try with assisted living people.It might be too complicated due to the tiny torn pieces, but I think I can adapt and make it easier for them.I just love all the backround colors and patterns, and everything about it, actually.

[@jackiekeegan1678]

I love this canvas Shel. It is absolutely gorgeous! It made me feel like it is Spring, the bees and blossoms are out and the warmth is in the air. It is Autumn here in Australia and the days are getting colder. I am not looking forward to those cold days ahead but at least I can watch UA-cam videos to take my mind off the cold weather. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous collage.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you Jackie :) Cold will seem lovely to me soon when the temperatures rise to over 100F LOL

I saw this video over to the right while I was watching a completely different sort of video (a game, actually) and decided to have a look at what the bee was all about. Amazing! I played with collage quite a number of years back but I never produced anything like this. :-D
