forsythia

a new set of beads in anticipation of the forsythia blooming -

the forsythia are not blooming here yet, but i checked the branches and the buds are starting to swell.

i started with a couple of literal takes on the luminous yellow blossoms -

but then stuff started getting a bit dr. seuss looking.

juicy pods and spiky orbs.

Photobucket
even some branch segments.

and finally, for good measure, a couple of big silly hollows with frilly, ruffled ends.

the plan is to string these up with peridot chunks to make a spring necklace.
