LET'S GET STARTED!
I glued egg shaped wood pieces to
the small wooden balls.
The wooden balls SHOULD have one flat side
I cut a slit on one side of the egg
I then painted them using
Lamp Black

When dry I added some stripes using
Antique Gold

I then cut some wings
out of an old screen
I folded it in half
I inserted the wings into the slit I had made
I cut 2 small pieces of black wire
I curled the ends
I drilled two tiny holes in the head
and
added the antennae
I took some heavy rusted wire
and wrapped it around a pencil
I drilled another small hole
on bottom side of the egg
OH...............its a BUMBLEBEE!
I made some vanilla stained tags
I wrote
BEESKEP
on them
I also painted this sign
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZING
here!
Happy Painting!
