I took my self off to Ness Gardens today to search for signs of spring, snowdrops that sort of thing.  Well I was quite surprised at what I found blooming already in nooks and crannies.  I took a load of pictures of landscapes and tree studies for my painting course, but I was also on the look out for lovely blooms to give some ideas for making beads in polymer clay and glass. I know it's mid January, but you never know until to go and look.........

This is what I found......the last one was a bit of a surprise, they have created a mini Stonehenge at Ness Gardens.  There must be thousands of bulbs coming up every where.  I think I will have to go back in a week or so when they are all out!  So far just the snowdrops are out.

Lots of food for thought, quite fancy doing the mini iris in  polymer clay, should be quite a challenge as the centre sticks up quite a lot!

Dawn.
