Flight of the Chamomile

Glitter on canvas

At the end of the growing season, I came across some chamomile in our plot neighbor Leslie's garden. The flowers were on their way out, but rather than get sentimental about their final days, I figured they deserved a proper send-off.

I started imagining them as little bumblebees on strings, taking flight instead of fading away. I wanted to give them a second life, something playful and full of energy. Naturally, this called for glitter.

I've always thought glitter has a funny way of making everything feel a little more exciting. It catches the light, changes as you move, and makes even the smallest details feel worth celebrating. A little like being in love, I suppose.

The dimensional glitter follows the lines of the flowers, exaggerating their bee-like shapes, while green and yellow stripes wrap around the edges to keep the energy going from every angle.
