SciFi and Fantasy Art Bee Familiar by Valerie Joanne Higgins

This is my contribution to the Bifrost project "Personal Familiars"

It shows my giant bee familiar whispering secrets into my ear,

Granny Weatherwax in the Terry Pratchet novels could project her mind into a swarm of bees, My Grandfather kept bees and I am quite fond of them.

Perhaps this picture has some sympathetic magic because 2 hours after I finished it a bee flew into my ear while I was on the phone and I had to say "Can you call be back in ten minutes I have a bee in my ear? I didn't get stung, it just gave both me and the bee a fright.

The photographs I used here were both taken by my son and I have his permission to use them.

10 Aug 2008	Barbara J. Wickham	Loading... A bee in your ear! Perhaps it did have a secret to tell you and just got a little to enthusiastic! lol I love the sepia-toned, grainy-photographic effects you did with this. It’s a great whimsical pic that makes me think of a CD cover. I imagine the music would be some upbeat, yet soulful combination of jazz-infused, alternative pop-rock style, with titles like: Bee My Honey, All That I Can Bee, Bee It Now Or Never... lol I’m sure you get the drift. Anyhoo, I really love this. Maybe the next time a bee lands on my shoulder I won’t be so afraid. Silly me.
