I just finished a commissioned piece that incorporates white forsythia and the native blue orchard mason bee. My inspirations were from photos I took last spring and an illustration I did a few years ago. It’s so fun to be able to use all my creative outlets and merge them together to make something entirely different.

Forsythia spring: white and blue

Loved seeing your photo and art, then the necklace. Makes me long for true spring ( the kind that forces the forsythia open after weeks of cold and snow).
Thanks, Barbara! Spring is certainly most appreciated after a true winter…I miss having some snow.

I love the bee and the neckless !!! I didn’t know white forsythia excisted !!!
Thanks, Gwennie! I’m not sure how common white forsythia is, but I took my pictures at the Morton Arboretum. The bush was just beautiful against the blue sky.
