Bee Observatory

This project required us to do something unconventional with a shipping container, I made a bee observatory. There is a circular seating (made out of plasticine) in the centre and a plastic covering over the hives so that people can view the bees without the bees escaping into the container.

Beekeeper suits are frequently white or an off-white colour, in part because it’s believed that this has a calming effect on bees, so, the interior walls of the container are painted white. There are little flaps on each side to allow the bees to come and go but keeping the rain and other elements out. And to complete the design I added a little bee friendly roof garden so that the bees wouldn’t have to travel far for sustenance!

Oddkness

Hi, I am a self-taught watercolourist from England, I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

My work is devoted to the glorification of animals, being deprived their companionship in childhood has led me to become even more enchanted by their existence. I hope you enjoy my posts, and if you do — don’t be a stranger, I’d love to hear from you.

Hi, I’m Laura, a joyful vegan and watercolour dabbler! I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

I like making a mess with masking tape, ink and watercolours in the name of our feathery, furry and not so furry friends.

If you share my passion, would like to make a purchase, or just want to say ‘Hi’… feel free to contact me.
