Making Honey 6.5"

Inspiration: Honey Bees are essential pollinators of food crop and wild plants and they produce Honey.  My inspiration came from watching the bees gathering pollen, talking bees and honey production with a couple of friends who have bees and gather honey.  This inspiration along with a desire to dust off my math and geometry skills while practicing precise glass cutting let to the design of the honeycomb.    Artistic Process: For the background, I cut multiple 6"hexagons and fired them together to create the  desired thickness as well as color and depth.  I then cut many hexagons in different shades of amber.  These were fired to the base larger hexagons to create the honeycomb design. Cutting hexagons is the geometry and math challenge - decide size, then cut the right width in rectangle shape, determine correct angle and cut one way, flip cut another way, which gets diamond shape then make it a hexagon. The bees are kilncasted and permanently adhered to the honeycomb.  The stands ar
