Herbs

A mediterranean balcony is unimaginable without herbs, so I made a chive and a lemon balm. The stems of the lemon balm are fishing line (my father's stuff). I have to refine my method, the fishing line peeks out in many places. But I  contented with the leaves. I've forgot to mention, I use fimo for the plants.
The planters were made of a broken pen tube. Perhaps I will make a sage or a rosmary, but  I have only six days to finish this gift.

Roses

I made these roses for the balcony. I love fimo! It's so perfect for making miniature flowers.

New project

My new project is a gift for my friend, Rita. She is the godmother of my middle daughter. I hope she reads only my hungarian blog, so I don't let the cat out of the bag. She loves everything about mediterranean life. I try to make a (maybe italian) balcony. It's a tiny but very important roombox!

I have more than 50 followers. It's a perfect reason for a great celebration! The roombox, Edit's room is ready. Edit has left for Spain. She gave me permission to show you her room. Have a good time!
There are some new minis I hasn't showed yet.

Nina's giveaway

Look, what the postman has brought for me! Nina's giveaway from Canada has arrived. Beautiful miniatures and all of them are mine! The first and only minis which are not my creatures. The carpet is perfect for the room, the other things are waiting for a fitting scene for the present. Thank you, Nina! And thanks the hungarian post office for not to loose the mail! This is a great day! Even the rain is missing today.

My first electricity attempt

I made my first working chandelier with my husband"s help. I'm a nut in electricity! I use a table tennis ball for the half globe. The gypsum stucco is airdry clay, on the photo you can see the mold: a glass salad bowl.
The mask is a venetian souvenir, Edit's favourite decoration.




And the great news:

THE BOX IS READY!!!

I tried to show it in sunshine, but there is no any sunshine here. Every day it's raining at least once, but rather twice. Is this the status all over in Europe? I want a week or only three days without water coming from everywhere! Look at Edit's room! The ceiling has soaked!

Souvenirs from abroad

I made a profile for the owner of the room. She is not a lady, rather a woman, a single one. She works in an office all day, often works overtime. She spends her holiday with travelling. Actually she is at home only at night of weekday. She bought this apartment lately, has no time to renovate. She likes old things she inherited from her grandmother, and also likes modern design. And her name is Edit!
These days I made evidences of her trip: photos, a leather album (fimo), frames (IKEA style). One of the frame has broken on the moving, it's waiting for changing glass.





I"ve also made some books of various subjects (design, art and travel).



And my favourite work of the last days is this brass sculpture. I imagined a woman sitting on the window shelf as I was bathing a week ago, and I can't get rid of the idea. I started it four times to be satisfied with the result. The fimo became too soft on sculpting, I always  left my fingerprints everywhere, so it was a horror at the first three times. Now it's OK, but doesn't like to be looked nearly.
Oh, there is a great crack at the corner beneath the window. This is not my creation, but perfect for an old room!


I have new followers, welcome here! These irises are for you!
