Bumblebee in hoop

Bumblebee in hoop

This piece was a commission for a client and based on an earlier bumblebee I had done with metallic gold thread. The background was also inspired from an earlier piece but adapted to make it fit within a hoop.

The bumblebee is huge as this is in an 8" hoop so you can imagine how big it is! I stitched it using metallic thread and DMC thread and then added bugle beads.
