Karen Ingham ‘Pollinator Frocks’ Collection

Artist Karen Ingham  took on the ambitious project of saving the shrinking populations of bees and other pollinators, by creating “Pollinator Frocks,” a series of apparel  treated with a nectar-like sugar solution that will attracts and nourish bees and the like.  She even created outfits for separate occasions: day-wear to draw bees and butterflies and evening-wear for nocturnal critters such as moths. While the poetry of having butterflies on my dress can seduce me, I don’t know about being  surrounded by moths? But it is for the good of the earth. Moths don’t bite. A look at the fabrics on the flip while the video explains the process more in detail.Via Ecouterre.
