Although the magazine is geared towards girls under the age of 10, I must admit I learned a few things about bumble bees.....like the fact that they do a dance when they find nectar, and (sorry guys), the girls are the worker bees who do all of the work!

It was a bright, cheerful project for a gloomy, rainy day. Hope this brightens your day a bit too! Enjoy~

Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely delightful--just get giggly looking at them! They are so cheerful and would have grand appeal to children!! Love your sketch as well.
You are a gifted illustrator--you're able to capture the personality of your subjects so well. Bravo on a job well done ;D
P.S. Your little helper looks quite content as well. What a beauty!
Soooo cute and happy. Beautifully done. Definitely brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteCheryl - the illustrations turned out so wonderful. I loved the early drawing, and then...Wow...your finished work is just superb! How could you not be so successful with such an attentive assistant? I bet you had a fun day working on this project when it was so lousy outside!
