My name is Andrea, but I go by Bee.
I babble, bumble, buzzle, and reblog things that catch or move me. I love art, and that's what the majority of my posts are. I'm a photographer, but I also dabble in a little bit of everything when it comes to expression. My heart lives in a darkroom, but I have my color prints developed for me, and I've been doing a lot more digital work recently.
I'm now working on my second 365 self-portrait project. I do this for a lot of reasons, but mostly it is to gain experience with portraiture, and grow as a human being. That, I'm sure, is evident if you skim my posts. Feel free to give constructive criticism on anything I post. If something is blogged as 'By Andrea Plummer', it is my own work (please credit me if you take it, I try to do the same).
Ask me anything.

“Standing in the light doesn’t require a sturdy spine, just a courageous soul willing to turn and face the sun” by Andrea Plummer
That’s what my wall says.

The fact that Hayden Wood spent six years working as a creative retoucher and graphic artist for Ogilvy in New Zealand is evident in his series Living Dolls, which takes a real life man and woman and manipulates them both into waxy-looking plastic people.
Gazing into those creepy, dead eyes makes that childhood dream of having your dolls magically spring to life suddenly seem a lot less appealing, right?
St. Patrick’s Day Flowers by Andrea Plummer
On St. Patrick’s Day, we spent most of the day downtown hacking, and watching the drunks fall down.
There was a woman in very traditional Irish garb, selling flowers (like this one) to make a little money, trade for drinks, etc. She stopped by a few times to flirt with Bobby, and my encouraging it turned out to benefit me because the next thing I knew, she was grabbing my shirt and gifting me one of her little works of art.
I love it. It’s still in the process of drying out so that I can keep it forever.
Thank you, Festive Woman for the gift. Thank you, Bobby for ensuring she came around enough to give it to me =D
14 Strands by Andrea Plummer
If you identify as female, you’re probably aware of this type of bracelet, especially since the recent revival. It’s about a billion square knots creating wonder (you can actually make crazy ass designs and everything).
I embarked on one that was 14 strands of embroidery floss. It was epic.
My cousin Bobby sort of dared me to, so I did. It ended up really sweet (this was taken about 2 days into the project, I think).
Sad part: I put a total of probably 6-8 hours into this thing, and he loved it. But then he lost it about 3 weeks later.
I’m still mourning, and too broken up about it to start another just yet.
P.S. I took this picture like this to distract from the fact that I had a tooth pulled on this day. My face doesn’t look as great as it could here…
“…You’ve gotta be starving for it” by Andrea Plummer
“Yes, a heart beats the best when in a head, death becomes irrelevant
Cause if you’re dreaming about dying, then you’re not really living darling
You’ve gotta be starving, you’ve gotta be starving for it
And if you’re crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin”
-Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
You can do this.
NO. Work out. Eat right. Tell yourself you are loved. Find people who will tell you you’re loved.
BE HEALTHY.
Followers, let’s bomb this. I want people to be healthy at any weight and love themselves while they get there. PLEASE.
E-izzle by Andrea Plummer
My aunt Aimee (gangster codename E-izzle) is pretty much the only person I talk to on the phone by choice. And I actually enjoy talking to her on the phone.
I took this picture while I was enjoying it, actually.
First Real Sunburn of the Year! by Andrea Plummer
I look all pink and smiley.
That weekend was great.
