11 people, creative folks of all sorts. We're going to Africa, and we wanna make a book about it. Will you join us?

I am super excited to announce this project and trip I'm a part of -

I am offering a few pieces of custom/original art for sale (watercolor or ink wash paintings) and the book itself is going to be amazing!! I don't usually offer smaller custom paintings like this, so if you are interested now is a great chance to get one.

There are so many fun, crazy, awesome, talented people taking part, and we'd love to share it with you. Check it out!

I am pleased to announce we have a few hive shares for 2014 left - you can find more info on my bee website here: ofbees.com/hive-shares/
It's a fantastic way to get honey, support bees and beekeeping, and be involved without the work (or chance of being stung!)

Thanks to  the wonderful generosity of people who supported our Bees & Trees project in 2012 my husband and I were able to establish an apiary (place where you keep bees) on our farm.  Our interest in the bees has flourished into a passion and we've gone from two colonies our first year to our current five colonies of bees and are planning to expand the bee yard a bit next spring.  We are trying to use the most natural, organic methods possible in bee management, not using any chemicals or feeding honey substitutes from our bees.

If you're interested in our project or want to learn more about our bees and beekeeping, we have a blog on our site: ofbees.com/


Thanks for looking. And ... Beeeees!

Foxloft Studios Artwork

Foxloft Studios has a ton of great gift ideas for any animal lover in your life - t-shirts, jewelry, art prints, and much more!
Thank you so much for considering supporting small businesses with your holiday gift purchases - you can get fun, unique gifts and make a difference to independent artists (and get something much cooler than at a big box store)!

Thanks to all of our generous and awesome donors from our Kickstarter campaign, we now have bees! We have successfully set up our first apiary and have been photo documenting the process of getting, installing, and checking on our new bees.

You can follow our bee adventures on Blogger, foxloft.blogspot.com/ Tumblr foxloft.tumblr.com/ or livejournal : foxfeather.livejournal.com/

It's been absolutely amazing so far - despite the fact our bee suits didn't arrive on time and we did our first colony installations and checks without any protection - it was a bit intense, since I've never had my face in a swarm of bees before, but they were surprisingly gentle and uninterested in me - way too much change and things going on for them to care, I think.

Thank you again to everyone who has made this happen for us! We will also be housing native bumblebees as well as blue orchard bees/mason bees and other species and will be updating with lots of info about those soon! I don't plan to keep posting journals here since I know not everyone on DA is as interested - but if you are just follow one of our blogs above - there's lots to come!
