Pattern - Wasps Nest



Hope none of you are afraid of creepy crawlies.  This is a small wasps nest that was found in the loft of the 'Sun Room'.  Martin very kindly took it down for me without damaging it and I have taken some photographs of the patterns.  The colours are like swirls of caramel and it is paper thin.  It is an amazing structure and just begs for some sketching to be done.

I missed out when we had the new roof on the house because there were around 30 nests up there, some still inhabited, but I did not think to acquire some of the lovely fabric from them and it was all thrown in the skip.

    They are so clever! We had a wasps nest in our roof last year but we can't get to it.
