Honeycomb Marquetry Panel

A rich geometric ‘tumbling-block’ image from Kit Williams’s ‘The Bee Book’, showing a marquetry panel of a honeycomb with bees. This commission to Heather in late 2022 was for a geometric, extreme line-cut jigsaw, but once again Heather wanted to test the limits of her 3D-enhancement cutting skills. The result is remarkable, with each bee’s legs remaining attached to its body.

After the success of the treasure hunt book Masquerade, in 1984 Kit Williams launched a follow-up book without a title, known as ‘The Bee Book’. The competition was to deduce the book’s title and convey it to the author imaginatively without using words. Many of the illustrations would make fabulous, enigmatic jigsaws.
