The hexagon shapes have really intricate design qualities. I kept the colors muted so the hexagon background would not overwhelm the piece or be too distracting.
This is the main flower of the piece. I'm liking the yellow backing the bud of the flower so I'll probably keep the color. I just love gerber daisies because of the different colors it comes in, plus it makes a good base to plant the bee in.
This is pretty much where I am at with this project. At this point I dream about cutting hexagons. It is so much more time-consuming than I expected. I am unsure if I want to back the hexagon shapes with white paper or let the other color shapes show through.
So this is what has been consuming my life for the past month. I am collaborating on a piece with an amazing craftsman. He works at Frantic Frameworks and will be designing a hexagon frame for this piece which will connect with the hexagon cut-outs that make up the background design. Instead of putting little blocks to add depth to the piece I will be separating the layers with glass. I am so excited for this one! After it is completed we will try to sell it at the Frantic Framer's Store.
