Honeycomb background paper

My idea of what the honeybees see when they are about their work :)
The first layer is pastel, then I worked in some Omni Gel. Next I took the grate off my espresso machine and used it as a stencil with gesso. When it was almost dry, I went in with a paper towel and did a little smearing and scumbling. I went over the dried bumpy surface lightly with pastels.
I'm going to use half of the sheet as part of my art lottery submission this month (bee background paper).
