Just a quick idea of what my final medal piece might look like. 

Polished bee

Finished polishing my bee today.

Todays Bee cast

So excited about how this turned out!

All the wings came out and there is the texture of the original wings on the bottom. next time i cast it ill attach the wax to the underside so that the pattern appears on the top, 

One of the antenna came out perfectly!

The legs and under side also came out exactly how I wanted. In this photo you can see the pattern on the underside of the wing.

I still need to polish this little lady up!
