What to Expect

Here at Hunny + Bee, I love creating things that excite me!

When I was in my mid to late teenage years in the early Noughties, I became fascinated in the Japanese art forms of Anime and Manga. 

What drew me to love this art form was their exciting use of colours, and the large expressive eyes. I myself enjoyed drawing the eyes in particular, wistfully hoping to emulate the style; and it is something that I still enjoying doing to this day, after rediscovering the style during my early years at University.

So what can you hope to expect from Hunny + Bee?


The two dolls that you see here on this post have been created using base patterns from other pattern designers; however the faces are original designs which will be a part of the Hunny + Bee aesthetic. As I develop my patterns, I want to stay true to the elements of design that hold important meaning to me and hopefully they might spark happiness within both yourself and I. 

My base dolls will not be copies of their style; but will be one developed by me personally – to be fair to not only the other designers but also to myself and my creative heart.

I have included them for you so that I can acknowledge where I have come from, but also that you might get a peek at where I am going. The face design especially is something that means a lot to me.

 

The design of the Fawn is still in its testing stages, but I am so excited about this one and it is the first sewing pattern that I plan on releasing… Yay

I cannot wait to be able to provide you with my first pattern. To be the first to learn about any updates, asked to be added to my mailing list or come to my Facebook page to follow me on this journey!
