The Little Book of Bees | Regional Cover Variations | Book Illustration

I find the differences in the regional cover art for this book so interesting to see - so here they are:  

UK Cover - features European bee species and gold foiling on the title font. It has a luxurious, gift-book feel


US Cover - features bee species native to the US, and a spot gloss title font in a bold warm yellow (photo credit: Girl Next Door Honey)

New Bees & Fox Recycled Charms / Keyrings

I recently began creating charms via UK-based merchandise company Zap! Creatives. 

Zap! digitally print the artwork onto acrylic which is 100% recycled from plastics that were destined from landfill and incineration. My first charm creations are using four fluffy bumblebee paintings I painted in 2016. My second was a recent red fox painting. I'm thrilled with how they turned out! 



These charms are now available to buy as keyrings/purse charms in my online shop, amyholliday.etsy.com
