Bee Pictures!

Here are a couple of bee pictures that I forgot to post! Working with the bees is such a wonderful experience, and I am learning so much about how truly amazing bees are, while getting to sample some truly amazing honey along the way!



Collaged Sationary

My sister brought me an issue of Vogue Magazine for me to cut up and use for collages. I found a number of ladies in fancy dresses and decided to make little stationary cards from the pieces.








Collaging in one of my favorite art forms right now!

Dried Lemon Garland

I saw a lemon garland like this in an Anthropologie store and was very inspired. The thin slices of dried lemon caught the light so nicely, and I thought something like it would look nice in my room. So I made my own! I dried the lemon slices in the oven and then strung them on fishing line, separated by little golden beads.




I may even take this with me to school in the fall for my dorm room!

More Bee Adventures!

I got to film with the bees again this past week, and I got to learn about langstroth hives and I learned how to harvest honey!

Fresh comb honey, its absolutely delicious!!

I am so thankful that it has worked out for me to work with these amazing beekeepers this summer, and to be able to use my passion for videography to help out our little bee friends!

4th of July in Colorado

For the 4th of July weekend, my parents and I went up to Colorado for a bit of vacation time. We had a wonderful time just getting out of town and spending time around the Durango area. We got to see some amazing fireworks, went to a wonderful farmers market (where the strawberries are from), and got to do a bit of hiking. It was so nice.
