Wow! One of my favourite objects from the fantastic @vamuseum ‘Fashioned from Nature’ exhibition... Masaya Kushino’s “Bird-witched” shoes, inspired by the bird paintings of the Japanese artist Ito Jakuchu (1716-1800). The sculptor Atsushi Nakamura crafted the claw heels.

I found an exhausted queen bee stuck in my front porch today. I seem to have a tree bumblebee nest in my tiny north facing urban front garden. I fed her some suger water which perked her up and off she flew back outside 🐝 . . #30DaysWild #treebumblebee #bombushypnorum #newgardenbumblebee #queenbee #bumblebees #urbangarden #wildlifegarden #woodlandgarden #myfrontgarden

It’s been hot, hot, hot here in #Cardiff today but I’ve been keeping cool in the museum stores with my camera, taking research images for some new artwork . . #bees #bumblebees #bombushortorum #gardenbumblebee #museumcollections #nationalmuseumwales #naturalscience #entomology #natureinspired #welshartist
