💙 Happy Calendar Change Day! 💙
About the poem:
This is one of Naomi's favourite poems from this year's calendar. Written late at night, it became a reflection on creativity itself. Whether it's a poem, a painting, a garden — we all have the ability to create something from a simple spark ✨
About the painting:
Forget-me-nots were chosen for this month because they feel a lot like sparks themselves: small, bright, and impossible to overlook. Jennie loved working with their vivid blue tones — a surprisingly rare colour in nature — and used a limited palette of blues and greens to let the flowers shine 🩵
Annnd a fun fact! There is another small blue flower that looks very similar to forget-me-nots, the Siberian Bugloss. The way to tell the difference is in the leaves and the centres of the flowers - forget-me-nots have their distinctive, jolly yellow centres and long, thin, completely green leaves, whereas Siberian Bugloss have white centres and much larger, heart-shaped leaves that are pale green-white with darker green veins 😱
