Colony is inspired by my initial photography from visits to bee hives and further research into bees beyond what we see in photos. The palette was chosen to express the typical colours associated with bees. The colour choice complements the drawings which are hand painted watercolours giving a traditional theme. The digital composition and printing of the designs allows the textures and marks from the drawings to be displayed. The designs have been thoughtfully composed to consider the use of the product. The table cloth has been designed with a trim to hang over the edge of the table and the napkins match the style. The oven gloves have been designed thinking about how they would be seen when hanging on an oven rail. It allows for a view of the inside design, when on an oven rail with a hidden surprise.
