The creation process was multi-step: first, the artist tore several pieces of paper, which she soaked in water with flower seeds loved by bees. After mixing the paper and seeds, she prepared a canvas base, on which she began creating the paint – a mixture of water, plants (lavender and poppies), and gum arabic, ensuring the paint adhered well and hardened when dry.

This type of paint strengthened the paper fibers, making it easier to embroider the bee with cotton thread. After several attempts, however, she realized the paper was too thin to be embroidered directly, so she glued it onto sewing paper to reinforce the fabric, allowing precise hand embroidery.

The result is not only a beautiful depiction of a bee but also a work that combines visual art, craftsmanship, and an educational element – reminding us of the importance of wild pollinators and biodiversity.
