Supercrawl 2012 is over but the great memories live on. When I look at this image of one of the Beehive Collective's Modular Beauty installations I realize that this section of James Street North in Hamilton, Ontario could pass for a street in Brooklyn or San Francisco or London, UK. It's remarkable that this street has undergone such a transformation in the last five years and it is thanks to young entrepreneurs who are buying and renovating the shabby buildings and starting businesses in them.

Back to Modular Beauty... the red and white cluster has got me thinking even more about hexagons. At this rate, my addiction with English paper piecing sees no sign of dissipating.

The Bees did a fine job of installing the modules and no one fell off a ladder in the process! In the bottom image, hexagon clusters adorn Mixed Media, owned and operated by Dave Kuruc, one of the leaders of the rejuvenation of James Street North.
