Honey Bee Collage

I finally got around to putting together a collage of the honey bee plush. This one wasn't poseable and the stripes were AWFUL to do. But the legs and wings were much easier to do without wire and the needle sculpted joints. I kind of love her floppy wings.

I also realize I tend to gender my stuffed animals. I don't know why. Some of them end up "it" and some "her" and  some "him"
It's just how I think about them when I'm making them. Sometimes I invent a whole personality for them in my head and the story helps me work. Do any other crafters do this when they work?

I am considering making another bee in a solid yellow with a flower crown. But I'm also considering doing a fantasy purple bee with sparkly wings so we'll see.
