Adding the finishing touches to my ‘Madge’ rose . . #waxsculpture #wip #commission #botanicalart #allthingsbotanical #ihavethisthingwithflowers #dsfloral

Here’s a video tour of a few pieces from my ‘For Safekeeping’ solo exhibition @walesbotanic. It ends this Sunday 8th September, so only two more days left if you’d like to visit in person.

I’m working on a few specially commissioned pieces at the moment. This is one of them.. I’ve been asked to make a pretty rose called ‘Madge’ which is also the name of my client’s mum, hence the strong sentimental association with the flower. It’s a rare variety, the clients live a good distance away and I couldn’t get a fresh flower to work from, so they’ve kindly sent me a beautiful pressed reference specimen in the post! #beeswax #waxsculpture #botanicalsculpture #commission

If you'd like to see more of the beeswax wild strawberry sculpture that I made earlier this year and find out about the PolliNation display at Cornell University, New York, have a look at the promotional video for the exhibition - the link is in my bio. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be working on a new piece of collaborative art with Assistant Professor of Entomology, Dr Scott McArt, later on this year. Watch this space... more details to come!

I’ve just sent three more of my copper etchings on their way to this beautiful gallery in Volterra, Tuscany. Thanks to @olga.niescier and @kalpaartliving for exhibiting my work in such a stunning space. I’m hoping to visit one day..!

Some butterfly artwork on my desk and a real one flying around in my studio! . . #gardenstudio #artstudio #speckledwoodbutterfly @savebutterflies

My first weekend off work in a while... I’ve spent my Sunday morning visiting this gorgeous place. . . #luckyme #inspiredbynature

My new solo exhibition ‘For Safekeeping’ @walesbotanic has a double page feature in today’s Western Mail Weekend magazine!

Photographing my Buff-tailed bumblebee @walesbotanic The patterned wings on this plate should develop some brighter green/blue colours over the course of the exhibition, as the copper surface forms a protective copper oxide layer. #forsafekeeping . . #annettetownsend #annettemarietownsend #bombusterrestris #etchedcopper #oxidisedcopper #patina
