These delicate carved wooden snowdrops are something different



No other information but connected, I think,  to  Oost- Groninger bloembollenroute

Well I am sure I am not the only one who is wondering whether they are readily obtainable?

They are made by  wood artist, Mr. Ibo Heeres in Kolham - I'm trying to find a source , though I believe they may be available at the Oost -Groningen bloembollenroute events,  as said before.

http://archief.eemskrant.nl/index.php?id=3491&titel=



It seems Mr Heeres has been featured in a number of  prestigious exhibitions - perhaps his work is  not exactly  "readily available " to buy!

"art" comes in many forms, of course - Emma T was delighted to find a pretty snowdrop decorated collar at Shaftesbury - seen here modelled by one of her doglets, Eavis



and today I've seen, in press coverage of yesterday's BAFTA awards, this photo of a dress, with lovely embroidered  bunches of snowdrops, designed by Alexander McQueen, being worn by the Duchess of  Cambridge....
