Today when I was at the cafe a friend asked 'So, are you dreaming of Norway at the moment?' and I had to say that yes, I was. I've been remembering that relief of early spring, and the first yellows reappearing outside from under the snow. And how everyone bought tulips to display on their tables. Also, my trip to Krakow in Poland last Easter. There were lots of tulips blooming in the parks there.
Again inspired by my lovely Swedish embroidery book, I made this matching set over the weekend: a small tribute to the European spring, and the return of yellow to the northern hemisphere. Tulip illustrations done on a vintage ceramic cup, plate and notecards. The yellow leaves in the picture above were taken here at the bottom of the world.
