The second necklace in the 'beekeepers' series is a honeycomb. Its cells are brimming with many shiny beads of honey - summer harvested and stored. I'm going to list it in the shop tomorrow.
I know of a garden website in the U.S. that carry dye plant seed. It's called, Pinetree Garden Seeds out of the state of Maine and the website is: www.superseeds.com Their catalog carries seed for Henna, Woad, Indigo, Black Hollyhock and Golden Marguerite.. for $1.35 to $1.60 (U.S. Dollars) per packet. Hope this helps!
I sometimes wish I had more money....usually I'm quite content, but I know if I won the lottery I would buy loads of wonderful handmade pieces....including this! Simply stunning!

I gasped when I saw this. Incredible work. Really beautiful.
It's a work of art! It just looks like it would feel and smell of honeycomb! I love those beads of honey!
I would love to see the back of one of your necklaces sometime. I can't see how you finish these so well!
Thanks for your recent comments on my blog. :) I'm so excited to be making so many talented new friends across the globe!
i am dying over how even more genius this is than the original smocked designs. (wiping the tears from my eyes.)
Seeing this blog and your work has made my day, and its not even 11am! Incredible work.

This is incredible! Beautiful!
Absolutely lovely. I used to keep bees, and found them to be very inspiring. Made a bee quilt once with honeycomb shibori.
