The Honey Gatherer is one of a small group of dolls that were created on the road during my recent pilgrimage to Ireland and Scotland and completed once I returned home to lutruwita / Tasmania. They are filled with dried yarrow and linked to the spirit of the Bee sacred to St Gobnait the patron of bees and first Holy Well of the Pilgrimage in Cork Ireland. The Honey Gatherer is adorned with citrine crystals and golden rutilated quartz stones :: drops of honey. She is needle felted from black alpaca wool woven with brights silks and was made by hand with love.
