Bee Honeycomb Neck Art Body Paint & Facepainting by Bath face painter Bristol body artist

Jan 2015

This was an idea for something a publication asked for that didn’t get used in the end, and I forgot to put it up until now.

The tiny paper eyelashes inspired me as well as all the awful warnings about bee deaths due to pesticides etc – without bees so many crops won’t get pollinated, its a huge problem.

This was mainly done with Cameleon paints,

by brush & sponge application.

Then using the glitter tattoo glue & freehand application bottles I sell, I added some details and outlines,

and coated them in Kryolan & Facade cosmetic glitters.

I glued small flat-backed pearls into the flower centres.

Lastly I added black pearls for the bee eyes.

Huge thanks to Model Mel, and to DR Cook Photography

Bees are so important!

Look up tips on plants you can grow to help them, don’t buy or use pesticides and check how fruit/ veg you buy has been grown.
