the theme, pollinators, is chosen by TAMMIE
for the link to the other participants, please go here
last week, while i enjoyed the so welcome sunshine
i heard the buzzing beez in the helleborus
so when the theme was announced i thought it would be easy ;^))
but then all these other (nice!) things came in between
which is why i'm late
and with an unfinished drawing....
but
with some bees!
i've made them years ago when the children were small
and we had a 'seasons branch' hung for the window
they are made of strobiles, yellow embroidery thread and some thin paper for the wings
thank you for visiting and
i will come to your places this evening!

vorige week, terwijl ik genoot van de zo welkome zon
hoorde ik de bijen zoemen in de helleborus
dus toen het thema werd aangekondigd dacht ik dat het gemakkelijk zou zijn; ^))
maar toen kwamen er allerlei andere (leuke!) dingen tussendoor
dat is waarom ik laat ben
en met een onvoltooide tekening ....
maar
met een aantal bijen!
ik heb ze jaren geleden gemaakt toen de kinderen klein waren
en we een 'seizoenen-tak' hadden opgehangen voor het raam
ze zijn gemaakt van elzenproppen, geel borduurgaren en wat dun papier voor de vleugels

BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful photos and drawing! And decoration hanging in threads, first I thought they wew real bumble bees, then I thought it was a unique plant, until I read it was made by you, such creative! :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello Patrice. Isn't the sound of the bumble bee's buzz astounding after a long dreary winter!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love the little ones for you children. I'm enjoying spring projects with my grand girls so we'll try making some bees next. Thanks for your constant inspiration. xo Carole
The colours of the hellebores in these photos are so very pretty, Patrice! Isn't it amazing how naturally the green shifts to pink and yellow in the blossoms? Your bees are simply adorable - I can almost hear them buzzing ;) xo

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI even like your drawing... that clearness together with the wilderness of hellebores...mmmh!
Warm-hearted hug to you (and thank you for your comment on my humble bee:)
Ariane.
Patrice your line drawing speaks of beauty, promise, joy. Hellebores are one of my favourites of all time. I once saw a camellia bush (tree) planted in a large planter that had hellebores all around the bottom of it. Both were in bloom. Heaven on earth!! Love your bees. N, x
