Flowers and bees are a match made in heaven when it comes to making honey and woodworking appliques. Hand carved into wood, stone or cast in to ceramic to add a bit of nature to our inside spaces without the side effect of a bee sting. They can be found all over the place including banisters, furniture, wall hangings, backsplashes and wood trim. With the growing number of bee hive owners this might be just the perfect way to customize your hive or "Honey 4 Sale" sign!
This project is packed with so many possibilities because the models are very interchangeable. It is easy to create a flower or bee motif that you can carry throughout a room or your home. Even if you are not looking to take on a home renovation, this project is easily hacked together with our other projects to create a unique project.
We have designed a few neat features into this project that will make it even easier to use and reuse. These features include:
- Stem and Leaves No.3 and No.4 merges into Lady Slipper No.1 to make a complete flower.
- Leaves have been modeled to be very flexible and can be used for capping of the stem model, overlap the border of the textured panel to give visual depth, merged together to create a long piece of trim and much more.
With summer buzzing by and Fall on it's way it might be the right time to plan that next home renovation or furniture project.
