Return of the Spring

Feeling very Springy lately! Not only has my favorite season returned in its full glory, but I have a new, old 1940's watch (from the Fleam) that requires winding, & it's making me think at least once a day about clockworks & their intricate springy beauty.

And besides, I'll take any excuse to draw curlicues & tendrils! How convenient that I'm working on the flora in my painting right now... this is one of many oddflower designs, more to come soon!
