Have you ever dreamed of being a busy bee? Well now is your chance as this blue banded bee inspired set is available in my etsy store!

I added in the dark navy textural fur similarly to how you’d add trim to garments. I really like how this defines the colour segments. I may have also accidentally made a fancy-ish end cap…
