Worker Bees, Unite!



We gotta job to do!  Having nagged my way into the heart of Weeki Wachee, it appears that we will be working on THE MURAL of our lives in the entrance to the Mermaid theater!!!!  Bee still my heart! Yes!!!!  Mermaids and Turtles and Fishes, oh my! Okay, like I'm not excited or anything.  Yay!!!! and working on a plein air paint-in day, too!

Manysisters is so happy now, like, everybody hold hands and sing!

So, I don't want this to look like Surfside Six but I want it to kinda feel like it.  I envision it to look like you are walking gradually down inside the spring, lower and darker, surrounded by mermaids in different eras and costumes.  With props in the background, and eel grass, and the castle, and Mermaids on the Moon, and the original Adagio, maybe the incredible Mr. Limpet and Elvis!  WhooooooWhoooooo!!  just breathe.

This allergy season is killing me, though.  The beekeepers said to try eating honey from the season you are in to take a bite out of what you are allergic too.  Fine by me.  I think I've gained 5 pounds since I saw them.....Now I am looking for some beeswax so I can purge my waxpots and pens and begin my all bee all the time art.  I found some interesting metal stamps made for glass bead making that are honeycombs.  Would that be cheating?  hmmm.  I suppose if I make my own it would bee alright.  Hah!  I could use some chicken coop style fencing stuff and paint it with hot wax and imprint.  Yep.  original.  me. I win. In a battle of wits with ....myself.

So Mermaids!  I have lots of stuff to draw from and still, it would be great to go to one of those aquariums with the glass tunnels so I could take pictures .  Road trip??!!

Lemme know if anyone wants to go---

Still the luckiest person in the world!

It just gets exciting-er and exciting-er! Like that?! The very next day I came upon a quilt pattern that screamed "Julie!" You'll have to see it......Will you be recruiting worker bees to work on the mural? Hmmm?
