Melissa Terlizzi also interprets nature in polymer with her bee colony. She was inspired by the Victor Hugo quote, “Life is a flower for which love is the honey…” and says the piece is almost like sunshine in a box for her.
On her Facebook page and on Flickr she shares photos of her work in progress and tells how she created her swarm.
Is Mother Nature speaking to you in the language of polymer this spring?

Several years ago I did a kids project making polymer bees with wings cut from screen wire. Melissa’s bees are much more sophisticated – if a bee can be described in that way. Love her piece.

Oh, I love this.

Charming. It would make me happy to see this piece on my wall every day.
