busy bees

When I went to a TinkerITworkshop, there was great emphasis on rapid prototyping - just stick all together with masking tape and worry about how it looks later.

Here’s the result of the opposite thinking. The honeycomb vase by Libertiny is the result of the craft work of 40 000 bees, who build the comb around a wire frame. They call the process 'slow prototyping'. The results vary, even though the bees use the same frame.

Amazing, inspiring stuff.
