Osmia Avosetta





Some of the reasoning behind my final major project and my first collection of designs for MSKJ: I have named one of my embroidery designs Osmia Avosetta after this very special solitary bee, one of few whom create these nests with flower petals, the actual layout of the nest being a layer of petals, a thin layer of mud and a final layer of petals which can be seen above. This was first discovered in 2009 in studies in Turkey and Iran.
