Russellscape 2010
Russellscape is an “endless landscape” or myriorama—a series of panels that, when placed edge to edge, form a continuous image, like the view from a moving train. Submit your own here, or see last year’s entries at the Beekeeper’s Art Gallery.
The winner of the 2010 contest, by popular vote, was #28, Joyce Weiner (see below.) Congratulations Joyce!

The first Russellscape contest was held during the Fifteen Weeks of Bees celebration in the spring of 2009. The winner was Sara McClelland (number 18, left), whose winning design was featured on a T-shirt in the LRK Cafepress store.
The 2010 Russellscape includes events from The God of the Hive, specifically, the image of The Green Man. Excerpts from the book will be posted on the web site beginning December 2009, but in the story, Russell meets one Robert Goodman, a small man with unruly blond hair and green eyes who instantly calls to mind a painting seen in The Language of Bees which—
…appeared to be a solid wall of leaves, meticulously detailed, until one noticed that the twin points of gleam to one side were eyes: The image resolved into the ancient pagan figure of the Green Man.
Next time I walked through the woods, the back of my neck was going to crawl.
