I'm gearing up to enter the next phase of my bee taxidermy project which will include sending out a large number of bee kits; I've prepared two hundred drawings to go along with them. I'm seeing each drawing as more trade than gift since it takes time, not to mention bravery(watch out for those stingers!), to pick up a bee and send it to me. Thinking along these lines, I've signed and titled each small work in an effort to ascribe value to each of them and by extension, value each participant's time and effort. This has also been a great opportunity to find joy in drawing which has previously been somewhat intimidating to me. Above are a few examples of the drawings I've been making. Each measures 2'' x 3'' and they range in media including ink, watercolour and markers.
