"Bees" book sightings in stores around the Globe

Its been SO exciting to see my illustrations in bookstores around the World! 

Here are a few collected snaps: 

The Strand book store in New York, USA

The Bookshelf book shop in Carlisle, England

Waterstones book store in Edinburgh, Scotland

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

Cheetah // Watercolour and Black Indian Ink

I recently found this in a sketchbook from back when I set myself a personal project of drawing 100 animals in 100 days, and 4 years later, I have finally scanned it in. It was an experiment with black Indian ink on top of my usual watercolour paints.

"Bees" // Beekeeping Tools and Honey Illustrations

Beekeeping equipment - a traditional beekeeping suit hood, two hive tools, a smoker and a 

honey extractor. 

Honey in its various forms: capped honey, as it looks as soon as it is removed from a traditional beehive, raw honeycomb, a honey dipper and glass jars.
