A friend from Sydney has taken up beekeeping this year, and is intending to give away lots of jars of honey as Christmas gifts. And he’s asked me to make him a bunch of honey-dippers to go with them:

It’s got glow-in-the-dark paint accents, so I’ll try to remember to take a photo of it in the dark. :neutral_face:
